I have a passion for coming alongside my clients and empowering them to find their strengths to make positive changes in their lives. I am committed to building a relationship with my clients that will facilitate growth and healing; gaining knowledge and tools that will promote continued growth and development even after therapy has ended. I am also dedicated to continuing to grow and learn professionally and personally in order to provide the best possible care for my clients.
My approach to counseling is person-centered and strength-based. I believe that each individual has the power to change, grow, and heal and that sometimes we all need someone to come alongside us and help us on our journey to living our best possible life. Also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) and Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT).
Within therapy, I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment to explore thoughts, feelings, and reactions. I would be honored to be a part of your journey, providing support and encouragement as you walk down your path to wellness. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions or would like to schedule an intake.
