Throughout my training as a therapist there were two phrases that impacted my understanding of the therapy process: "You are the expert on the process and your client is the expert on their story, pain, thoughts, and feelings" & "The client is the key to their own success." With these two phrases I continuously reminded myself that I'm responsible for guiding my clients in the direction(s) that are beneficiary and to collaborate with them throughout the therapeutic process. My training was specifically geared toward individual counseling and addressing various challenges that can occur throughout life.

I love working with individuals who are eager to find a deeper connection to self and others. Many people who decide to start therapy feel ambivalent about the process, and may feel uncertain about change in general. That is okay. They may not be ready for change and may be coming to therapy in order to first find that motivation for change. They may be highly emotionally sensitive, but have never felt understood in their sensitivity. They want to feel heard, seen, understood because these are some of our innate human needs.

In this life, it is impossible to come out unscathed. As we journey forward we continue to accrue new scars, bruises, and scrapes. It often seems the world asks that we simply put a band-aid on our deep wounds and keep moving; when so often our injuries and brokenness need more attention and care. As a therapist, it is such an honor to bare witness and tend to the wounds. I take a very relational approach to counseling and I enjoy working with motivated and insightful, teens and adults who are looking for help with trauma recovery, anxiety & depression, grief & loss, ADHD, and life transitions.

I also enjoy working with clients who are interested in looking at their issues through the lens of their spirituality.

The relationship with your therapist is one of the most important catalysts for change. It should emphasize your sense of safety, feeling understood, and hopefulness that you can seek change together. My approach to psychotherapy emphasizes this powerful tool and together, we can work to uncover what leads your relationships to continually disappoint, your career to disatisfy you, for happiness, love, or ease to seem out of reach. I work collaboratively with individuals to identify treatment goals, the focus and pace of our work and to incorporate the unique culture and background each person brings.
