My approach to counseling begins with developing a relationship with clients so I can understand what has brought them to therapy. To look at situations within the larger context of our lives--past and present, family and friends, and the beliefs and attitudes that shape personal experience. Healing happens on many levels, often looking very different from one person to the next, and it can take time to build a relationship and establish enough trust to bring someone new into our life. This is something that can't be rushed.
Life's stressors often ask us to change and even positive change can require us to grow, stretch, and become in ways we never expected. I work very hard to create a safe space for this transformative work by drawing on my skills in expressive arts, body-based/somatic work, and mind/body/spirit interventions. It's all about your needs and what works for you.
I am eclectic in my approach, employing a variety of strength-based and trauma-informed techniques and modalities that support curiosity and openness in my clients. I believe we have so much to offer each other as we learn together. It is a privilege to partner with you as you make this journey and allow me to walk alongside you to find your own path.

Self-regulation is so important, especially in our busy lives that don't always encourage us to slow down and look to our body for cues on what's happening inside. How are we handling all the sensory information coming at us? Am I grounded in the moment? When we learn to respond to life out of a place of safety and feeling supported, we can face the day with confidence, openness, and wonder.
