I have always wanted to work with adolescents! Because of my own experiences with anxiety and the military, I would love to work with adolescents who have anxiety issues or are in military families. I would also love to work with those in the LGBTQ+ population, as I plan on doing so once I am a counselor. Giving young people the space to talk and helping them develop skills to manage anxiety, military struggles, or any other mental health issues are deeply important to me.
I highly value empathy and listening. If one genuinely listens and empathizes, the potential for trust and healing grows. Adolescence can be a tough period and just showing interest in a kid’s interests can go a long way. I am committed to making adolescents feel safe, to going at their pace, and to always listening.Â
