Experiencing fear, pain, and struggles are inherent in the human experience, and counseling can be a place to receive support and healing amidst challenging times. Are you navigating a relationship strain, grief, overwhelming emotions, identity concerns, or new life circumstances? Do you want to unlearn expectations that hold you back, increase your understanding of why you feel, think, and act, or cultivate greater authenticity? Are you interested in exploring your inner world to make positive changes in your life? If you are longing for deeper relationships, self-compassion, and emotional freedom, please consider reaching out.
As a LPC at Friendly City Psychology, I provide a warm and understanding environment in which clients can explore their concerns, get to know themselves better, foster resilience, and show up more authentically in their lives. I utilize a person-centered orientation and integrate interpersonal process, CBT, mindfulness, and insight-oriented techniques.
It can be hard to ask for help. I'm interested in collaborating with you on your healing journey. I believe in human resiliency, the strength of vulnerability, and the transformative powers of connection, acceptance, gratitude. Please reach out if you're interested in drawing from your strengths and creating change in your life that is meaningful to you!
