Depending on the type of counseling provided, I use evidence-based research theories, models, and techniques to assist in personal reflection and growth for individuals, families, and children.

I am interested in learning about each individual I see because my personal aim is to aid clients in reaching their full potential. I believe this can be achieved with a mutual and holistic understanding of each client, specifically within one's social world and through the lens of one's past. For me, counseling is a collaborative process, and I have respect for each individual's autonomy throughout the process. To find meaning, even in the middle of suffering, to heal past or current events, and to develop coping skills can all lead to a deeper understanding of oneself, which is a never ending process.

I work with women who want freedom from what haunts them. Women who are willing and ready to do the work to free themselves from the grip of whatever holds them.

Healing is about returning to balance in these three areas. What does that look like?

I see my role in counseling being an empathic, deep listener as you explore and identify your unique values and goals.
