I implement a straight- forward holistic approach to care, while maintaining a nurturing, non-judgmental, and empathetic therapeutic environment. I believe achieving a greater level of wellness and fulfillment through self-awareness and acceptance helps to contribute to individual and relational growth, along with positively impacting the creation of a happy, healthy lifestyle. Further, I bring real-life experiences coupled with professional knowledge and expertise into the clinical setting, which helps to create a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients.
I provide individual and couples counseling for teens and adults, with a focus on healing relational trauma, including narcissistic abuse and intimate partner violence. My approach supports clients in understanding the impact of past and present relationship patterns while helping them build healthier connections.
Life can often plague us with stressors or experiences that deplete our emotional, physical, and psychological well-being. Sharing intimate details of your life and being vulnerable with a counselor can be difficult. If you think I would be a good fit for you, please reach out. I look forward to meeting you.
