Taking the step towards exploring yourself is powerful, purposeful, and courageous. Through authentic connection and openness, I believe change, growth, and healing can occur. My goal is to provide a safe, therapeutic environment for you to delve into and process difficult life events, changes, and choices. Together, we identify areas that are impacting your thinking, behavior, and relationships, seek out and examine their origin, find meaning, and work towards achieving and practicing new, healthier ways of relating and understanding.
I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, and loss. I approach counseling from a strength based perspective and incorporate various theories of counseling, including developmental, motivational, narrative, and cognitive behavioral. My focus and passion is helping young adults navigate the transitions they experience as they enter adulthood.
Exploring experiences of loss and trauma can provide essential insight into present problems and allow the space for healing to begin. It is with great privilege and honor to walk alongside you on your journey.
