Choosing to invest in the journey of personal growth and healing is a brave decision that can feel overwhelming. I believe individuals thrive when they feel free to live a self-determined life that is uniquely and personally meaningful and fulfilling. However, this can seem difficult or impossible when trauma, depression, anxiety, interpersonal stress, or other elements of life become more than we can manage on our own. I see the counseling process as a joint endeavor to better understand your unique experience in the world, your strengths, your dreams, and what may be acting as barriers to growth, peace, and self-actualization.
I prioritize creating a counseling relationship built on acceptance, safety, trust, and authentic connection. I utilize evidence-based practices rooted in humanistic, existential counseling. I incorporate elements of mindfulness, experiential and somatic techniques, parts work, inner-child work, and creativity in many forms during counseling sessions.
As a counselor, it is a tremendous honor to walk with my clients through the many complexities of life. I find exquisite beauty in the full scope of the human experience and the unique nature of each individual. I welcome clients of any race, age, ability, religion, gender, and sexual orientation and identity. LGBTQ+ and non-monogamy allied and affirming.
