As a counselor, my role is to create a safe environment where you can feel secure and supported. My style is respectful, warm and interactive. I value a strong therapeutic alliance as a basis for personal and behavioral change and emotional growth. When working with teens, I find collaborating with caregivers to be most effective in fostering growth and positive change. I also find it essential working with adolescents to build a strong rapport as a foundation to further enhance the therapeutic process.

We cannot remove painful memories but I believe that we can decrease the control they have over our lives and come to a place where the pain is not as intense. I believe struggles come from avoidance. When we avoid things like negative emotions or traumatic times in our lives they won't go away, instead, they grow and fester until at some point, they become overwhelming, uncontrollable, or show up in other areas of our lives. The more they grow, the more uncomfortable or scary they are to address, so we avoid them even more until it becomes an unending and ever-growing cycle.

Life is good but sometimes it leaves a mark. The roots of our struggles can run deep, and often the actions we take to recover end up causing even more problems, leading to overwhelming hopelessness and disappointment. I believe that sharing your history and struggles in a safe and supported environment can give you space to see what is getting in your way, clarity to know what you can change, and strength to approach your situation differently and more effectively. My goal is to help you find insight, hope and determination to explore and remove the burden of past traumas, mistakes and damaging beliefs and to offer a path forward.

Eventually, we find ourselves far from what we find most valuable and meaningful in life. Whether it's depression, grief, anger, trauma, stress, anxiety, or difficulty adjusting to life circumstances, together we will practice skills to be more present in life, more open and better equipped to handle our pain, and more able to move towards what matters.
