If you have something on your mind or heart that you feel is holding you back, and you are ready to get support to move forward, I will walk beside you to help you identify your strengths, needs, and motivations. Together we can build and reinforce your skills to help you find your best path. At the end of the day, you are the expert in your own life, and I hope to offer an outside perspective to support you in examining your experiences and/or moving through them.
I draw from person-centered, solution-focused, and strengths-based therapy approaches, using elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to encourage goal setting, skills development, and growth. I encourage transparency between myself and my clients regarding their needs and progress, and try my best to hold space without judgement.
