My approach to therapy is person-centered, holistic, and strengths-based. I believe clients are the experts of their own stories, and my role as a therapist is to create a safe space for individuals to explore intersecting aspects of their identities. Therapy is not about asking “what’s wrong” and instead about building upon existing client strengths in order to create a meaningful and rich life. My toolbox consists of a variety of counseling modalities. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dreamwork and Dream Arts Therapy.

At Larch Counseling, we help hurting adolescents, overwhelmed parents, disconnected couples, and everyone in-between find hope that things can be different in their lives. That life can be lived without a constant feeling of frustration, pain, sadness or being misunderstood. A life that is full of connection and lacks conflict. Once this hope is realized, we work with you to achieve this healthier way of living.

I believe that the most important aspect of therapy is the positive relationship between therapist and client that fosters respect, trust and open communication.  It's my intention to create a supportive and collaborative environment where we can work together to find the best way to address your needs in this journey. I encourage change by providing alternative perspectives and creating collaborative plans to help you achieve your goals.  I strive to foster respect for each client and their unique belief and value systems, and I believe that my clients are the experts of their own lives and my role as a therapist is a gentle guide.
