I believe mental health care should be viewed just like physical health care, something we all need but in different ways at different times – sometimes an emergency needing acute care or maybe specific ailment, other times you just need a check-up and to check in.

I work best with those who are trying to better understand themselves and their experiences. They might be healing from trauma, exploring their LGBTQ+ identity, navigating neurodivergence, or adjusting to major life changes. They are ready to look inward, even if they're not sure where to start. My clients often want to feel more grounded, connected, and at peace with themselves, and they're seeking a space where all parts are welcome.

One of the most important factors in therapy is the connection created between the client and therapist. Building a trusting foundation can be a critical component in an individual’s therapeutic journey. I thrive to give my clients a healing and nonjudgmental safe space that guides them through their challenges.

Life moves fast and requires a lot from you. Society expects you to handle the stress, so you push forward despite the weight. In the silent moments, you deal with the conflict within. I welcome you to sit with me and work it out together. My elder taught me you can either progress fast or deep in your life journey, but not both. My intention is to create a safe space to explore your world while learning and practicing practical solutions along the way. I intend to focus on your strengths and build your confidence. During counseling, our work will be goal-directed, cathartic, and spiritually attuned. I hope to speak with you soon.

I love working with children, adolescents, and young adults. When you are growing up it is a time of constant and rapid change. The pressures from school, friends, social media, parents and everything in between are overwhelming. It can be so hard to manage on your own and scary as a parent to watch. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients learn how to successfully manage all of the stressors in their lives so that they can re-engage with their family and friends and find the joy they once had. I help people improve the relationships in their lives and find more happiness in their everyday interactions.

Motivational Interviewing Therapists

How does motivational interviewing work?

Motivational interviewing aims to uncover a person’s internal motivation to change their life. Toward this end, the therapist listens, empathizes, and collaborates with the client based on their perspective; the therapist doesn’t adhere to a predetermined plan for change or impose their viewpoint on the client. Discovering an individual’s most important reasons for change, and guiding them to achieve those changes, can empower people to shift from ambivalence to action.

Is motivational interviewing evidence-based?

Yes, research shows that motivational interviewing can help treat alcohol and substance use — and in different ways such as reducing drinking, reducing resistance, and increasing the likelihood of staying in treatment. Motivational interviewing has also been shown to help people lose weight, adhere to medication regimens, improve diet for those with Type II diabetes, and improve healthy behaviors in children.

How long does motivational interviewing last?

Motivational interviewing is a short-term therapy that can last just one or two sessions. In some cases, motivational interviewing may be used in conjunction with longer-term therapies, but for most people, motivational interviewing is a brief intervention that aims to help patients understand their personal, specific, and internal reasons for changing their life.

What differentiates motivational interviewing from person-centered therapy?

In person-centered therapy, the individual is in the driver’s seat of the treatment process, creating space for them to trust their instincts and arrive at their own solutions. The two approaches are similar because motivational interviewing is also client-centered; however, person-centered therapy is more open-ended while motivational interviewing is somewhat more structured; the goal is to change, and the therapist helps the client specifically discover their internal motivations to modify their behavior.
