My counseling approach is to create an open-minded, inclusive safe space and welcome you into it with an empathetic mindset. I think it is very easy to get overwhelmed, stressed, and exhausted due to the daily stressors that present themselves in today's society. I practice solution-focused brief therapy because I believe that we will come together and develop coping skills that you can practice and develop solutions to the challenges you may be facing. I tailor my approach based on the individual client and consider their mental, spiritual and physical health as I believe our bodies and minds work together in unison.

During our journey through life, it is easy at times to feel lost, stuck, caught in a crossroads, and overwhelmed. My job as a counselor is to walk alongside you as we work through the obstacles of life together. I provide a safe, compassionate space for self-exploration, collaborative problem-solving, personal healing, and growth. My client-centered and accepting style puts the therapeutic alliance front and center as you set the agenda for our work. Too much guidance risks taking away your own autonomy, and too little keeps you confused, so striking the right balance is one of the keys to good therapy.

I see my role as a steadfast guide in helping my patients to deepen their connections with others and live life more fully. Oftentimes, we are not fully aware of the habits of thinking, feeling, and acting that shape our daily internal and interpersonal struggles. To live life in a more attentive and skillful way, it helps to discover the emotional and relational habits we live by, where they came from, and what keeps them going in the here and now. Habits that were once useful may now limit our ability to connect with others and find joy in living.

Life is full of ups and downs, challenges and joys. My passion is to work with individuals (adolescents - seniors) and couples as they navigate their own respective journeys. Whether you are dealing with stress, loss, anxiety, depression, anger, life changes, health or marital issues - being able to help you overcome obstacles as you continue on your path is my goal. No two people experience life the same way, and being able to develop treatment plans and goals to help you be successful is what I find most rewarding.
