Hello, and welcome! I fully believe that every person brings an individualistic perspective to the table - Shaped by their own identities, experiences, and challenges. It's most important to create a space where we can explore unique solutions together and model healthy communication and relationships. My hope is that we explore emotions, practice vulnerability, and work towards personal goals together. I also acknowledge how my identities and statuses of privilege show up and I intentionally operate with an anti-racism lens to help empower clients to show up authentically.
Although I primarily utilize a person-centered lens (and some attempts at humor) to develop rapport, I firmly believe a multifaceted approach to counseling benefits my clients, all of whom hold individual life experiences. My clients have used sessions to address life transitions, sexual/gender identity, addictions, anxiety, and relationship concerns.
While counseling is a continuous journey that cannot be expedited, the destination is worth it. While the path can swerve, circle back, and feel endless, you do not have to travel alone. While you hold the choice of taking that next step, my hope is that you will allow us to take it together with curiosity and compassion.
