I am a counseling intern with a deep commitment to supporting individuals who are navigating a variety of emotional struggles. I have a particular passion for working with clients who may be experiencing thoughts of suicide or engaging in suicidal behavior. You may feel like you're drowning, I am here to get in the water with you. Together, we'll work through these difficult moments, and swim toward a place of healing and safety.
My approach is person-centered, compassionate, non-judgmental, and tailored to your unique needs. I employ existential and narrative therapy techniques to help us explore your past, present, and future experiences. I believe that even in our darkest moments, there is hope and the potential for growth.
If you are feeling hopeless or stuck, anxious or tired, I offer a space where we can navigate these feelings, understand their roots, and work together to create strategies for moving forward. My goal is to empower you to rediscover a sense of control and peace, regardless of where you are on your journey.
