Whether you're facing a severe crises or simply seeking direction, we will work together to help you discover and create new possibilities. As a therapist, I provide a supportive and non-judgmental stance in which you can feel safe in discussing your problems and in turn discover ways to solve those issues and create a new healthier way of being.
I consider myself a person centered therapist, however I draw from a variety of therapeutic orientations and tailor counseling to meet the needs of the client. Therapeutic approaches that I often draw from include: cognitive behavioral, solution focused, dialectical behavior, mindfulness practices and eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR).
