Working as an Equal to Clients
After almost 20 years in EMS, I opened my own therapy practice, offering virtual sessions, as a licensed professional counselor associate. I've spent 10 years in higher education, earning BS & MS in psychology and an MS in clinical mental health counseling. I specialize in working with individuals that are suffering from life changing illnesses and injuries. Invisible illness is the hardest to navigate and often requires the client to explain key pieces of their journey to their therapist. I have the knowledge and experience to not only understand the medical journey, but also to understand and empathize with the difficulty these clients are going through.
I view myself as an equal to my clients. We work together to find the balance between living a full life and managing their illness. I understand the struggle of being misunderstood and invalidated throughout this journey. I use my medical background, personal experience, and training in therapy to help my clients live their best life while honoring their challenges and symptoms.
