About this provider
Clients I Work With
I work with neurodivergent individuals, adolescents, teens, young adults, and adults who are feeling stuck and are ready to move toward meaningful, lasting growth. Whether you are navigating the unique challenges of a neurodivergent brain, managing the transition into young adulthood, or working through the stresses of adulthood, I am here to help. You might be struggling to regulate overwhelming emotions, navigating life transitions, or repeating patterns that no longer serve you. My practice is a safe space for those who want to do the work of challenging unhelpful thought patterns and building a life that feels authentic. No matter your stage of life, we will work together to navigate your barriers with clarity and confidence.
Approach
In our sessions, we focus on collaboration and practical change. My approach is rooted in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which I adapt to be neuro-affirming and skill-focused, ensuring our work is practical and tailored to the way your brain processes information. We won't just talk about the "why"; we will focus on the "how." You can expect a session that feels supportive, secure, and focused on real-world results. We will identify your unique goals, examine the behaviors that keep you from achieving them, and replace them with healthier, more sustainable alternatives. It’s an empowering process where you are an active, valued partner in your own progress.
Beliefs & Lived Experience
My work is shaped by the deep belief that everyone is capable of growth when given the right environment and tools. As a professional, I’ve navigated various roles from clinical department management to direct therapeutic work in partial hospitalization settings and these experiences have taught me that high-quality care must be both evidence-based and deeply compassionate. I value structure and consistency, but I lead with empathy. I believe that therapy should be a secure space where you can be honest about where you are and confident about where you are going. I bring that same commitment to balance and growth into every session.
More About My Practice
Clear Connection Counseling provides accessible, high-quality mental health support through a secure, confidential telehealth environment. I prioritize convenience without sacrificing the quality of the therapeutic relationship. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University, and I integrate my experience in program leadership and adolescent care into every session. If you are looking for a therapist who is structured, evidence-based, and genuinely invested in your progress, I am here to help you take that next confident step.
