Beginning counseling is the first step on your journey to a happier and healthier version of you! That process includes finding therapist who is suited to your unique needs and preferences. My goal as a counselor is to hold a safe non-judgmental space and cultivate a comfortable environment where you can fully be yourself. Therapy is a collaborative process that involves accessing your own inner resources with the guidance of a trusted trained therapist. You are the expert of your own life, and your personal goals are the focus. Together we can identify strategies to overcome obstacles that are currently interfering in your life.
In my practice I see individuals 10-years and older, couples, and families. I support clients utilizing an eclectic approach backed by evidence-based models including EMDR, ACT, parts work, CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, creative and expressive arts and other modalities tailored to your personal needs as deemed therapeutically appropriate and helpful.
Many life experiences led me toward a career in mental health counseling, overcoming cancer and my own therapeutic journey encouraged me to offer clients a supportive, collaborative, safe container to hold space for people to move forward with honesty, clarity and strength to become more content in their present while also embracing plans for the future.
