I worked a lot with trauma, trafficking victims, and refugees, as well as families, children, adults, and couples and have continued working with all of these populations in my practice.
I entered the field of counseling after working overseas for a number of years and recognizing the universal need for someone to walk beside us in our challenging moments. I have a lot of experience helping clients process trauma, family situations, anxiety, and big life changes. It can be so intimidating to feel pressured to expose the most vulnerable parts of your story to a person you barely know. Therapy is a relationship that builds, and my hope is that clients feel comfortable setting the pace.
