Welcome! I'm so glad you're here! Whether you're seeking therapy for the first time or are ready to continue your healing journey, I am proud of you for taking the steps to prioritize your well-being! Counseling is my passion and purpose, and I am honored that you have considered embarking on this journey with me. While I specialize in treating trauma, I am well-versed in helping clients navigate the many difficulties of life. If you feel I would be a good fit, I encourage you to reach out; you've already taken the first step towards a healthier, happier life!
I hope that therapy feels as comfortable as talking with a friend, with the added guidance and direction that a seasoned professional can bring. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the primary mechanism of healing, and I am skilled at developing a solid rapport that serves as the foundation of our work.
I truly believe that active listening is the foundation of good communication. I strive to ensure my clients feel heard, validated, and understood. I frequently reflect on what I've heard to help clients clarify their thoughts/feelings and to ensure my understanding before moving forward.
