As a counselor my goal is to center the client, their relationships, and their lived experience. Life can bring challenges and events that create obstacles to health and growth. Counseling allows a space for processing and navigating barriers and experiences that hold us back. I aim to work alongside you, to offer empathy, encouragement, and empowerment to support your autonomy and movement towards your personal goals.
I specialize in existential therapy utilizing a liberation psychology approach. I use a person-centered approach, EMDR, and expressive art techniques when working with clients from a variety of identities and mental health struggles.
When life feels heavy, overwhelming, exhausting, or out of control, counseling can offer relief. I am honored to be able to be on your journey with you towards healing. Please reach out if you need some support and when you do, take the time to recognize and honor within yourself the strength it took to take such a huge step.
