Welcome! My approach to counseling is collaborative, compassionate, patient, and kind. I will focus on understanding you where you are at without judgement, so that you can have greater acceptance of yourself and your experience, and be able to be vulnerable and honest with someone who cares as you navigate the challenges you face. I specialize in working with individuals who are navigating relationship challenges or conflict, have communication difficulties, or are wanting to work on understanding their attachment style(s) and the impact of family of origin dynamics.
I am most passionate about working with growth-oriented individuals and folks in relationships who feel that they are not reaching their full potential. My goal is to work together to help you gain insight about yourself, identify helpful coping strategies and skills, and to help you explore and understand patterns that may no longer be serving you.
I believe that everyone has an inherent capacity for resiliency, self-determination, and personal growth, and I empower my clients to embrace these aspects of themselves. I will help you discover your strengths so that you can find optimal ways of living your life in alignment of your values and goals.

I most often work with folks feeling "stuck" engaging in recurrent patterns of behaviors, thoughts, and relationships that keep resulting in the same outcome. I help people to gain awareness about these patterns, make connections to earlier times of life where this may have been developed, and then help clients consider adaptive strategies that are in alignment with their values and life goals.
