Hello! I am
a counselor and licensed social
worker who has a passion for
serving children and families. I
grew up in Nashville, TN, but
moved overseas to the Black
Forest of Germany at the age of
fifteen where I spent three
years of my teenage life. I have
Bachelors and Masters degrees
in Social Work and have
experience counseling children,
teens, and families experiencing
a variety of life challenges and
transitions.
As someone who has lived
cross-culturally as a teen and
as an adult, I understand the
specific and unique challenges
that people face when living
outside of their 'home culture'.
I also know that finding support
can be a major difficulty for
individuals and families living
overseas. Professional
counselling from someone who
understands these specific
challenges is vital. I believe
in giving people a safe space to
talk about and explore their
emotions, as well as providing
helpful tools and coping skills
for making overseas life work
well.
Although I work with individuals
of all ages and life
experiences, my specialization
is in work with children and
adolescents, as well as the
treatment of trauma. I offer a
unique perspective in counseling
for individuals living
cross-culturally and provide
support during transitions. I
also counsel individuals facing
a variety of challenges
including: depression and
anxiety, substance abuse,
self-harm and suicidal ideation,
family changes, identity issues,
and interpersonal conflicts.
Apart from individual
counselling,
I provide couples and family
counselling, as well as family
sessions upon request for
clients who already receive
individual counselling. I am also
available for parent
consultations upon request.
I
understand that financial
challenges are often a barrier
to receiving help, and I believe
all families should have access
to affordable care. I offer a
sliding scale to clients in
challenging financial
situations. Please contact me to
discuss on an individual basis. |
