Working together, we can gain a deeper understanding of your life and experiences. By learning about you as a whole person and all of your unique circumstances, we can identify the areas that that are challenging. We can uncover personal and community strengths and set meaningful goals. Through the counseling process we can move toward growth and healing and help you come closer to reaching your full potential.
I use a person-centered and trauma-informed approach to create a safe and welcoming space to explore. I support clients in expressing themselves by using psychotherapy and art therapy-based techniques. I am trained in meditation and mindfulness practices and can incorporate these skills into therapy to help cultivate calmness and improve resiliency.
If you have been struggling and think you may benefit from talking with a trusted counselor, please reach out for a free 15 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.
