Hi! As a resident in counseling, I have experience working with individuals ages 13 and up who are struggling with identity issues, values, life transitions, loneliness, interpersonal conflicts, grief, and/or unresolved trauma. I've also worked with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, and PTSD. Whether it’s walking alongside my clients in processing trauma, exploring their complex identities and values, navigating significant life transitions, or learning everyday coping skills for overcoming complicated emotions, I meet each of my client’s needs with positive, unconditional support and affirmation.
I utilize an integrative approach catered to clients’ individual goals and needs. I practice cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), person-centered therapy, acceptance commitment therapy, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, reminisce therapy, and mindfulness.
I will work with you to understand your goals and expectations for the counseling space, and will do everything in my power to provide you with the necessary skills, resources, and next steps to accomplish those goals. I offer a compassionate, genuine, and honest space for clients to authentically be themselves and bravely overcome daily challenges.
