My approach draws from multiple theories and interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Supportive Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing techniques.
Do worries or negative thoughts keep you from fully engaging with things that you'd like to do? Are you going through a difficult life transition? Are you motivated to learn how to handle stressful social situations, determine a school or career path, find the right balance in your life, or make other adjustments to take on your goals? If you're ready to work on getting unstuck and challenging the thoughts and other barriers that are holding you back, therapy can help.

I believe in being person centered and truly being able to meet people where they are.
Life can be a struggle. Maybe you’re balancing multiple demands: parenthood, relationship, career, and you feel constantly pulled in different directions. As the demands increase, time for yourself decreases and you find yourself full of worry and defeating thoughts such as: “I can't handle this” “what will I do?”; “I’m not good enough”. Self doubt and insecurity set in and daily tasks may feel like they’re more difficult to get through. You may feel exhausted but these running thoughts keep you up at night. Or maybe you’ve felt this way for a while, and you’re beginning to wonder if you will ever feel content again.

Each potential client is different and brings different values and challenges to therapy. The goals, needs, or issues of every single person are just as important to me as my own, therefore I approach each client using a client-centered or Person-Centered Approach to ensure I am putting the needs of my clients before my own. My goal as a client-centered therapist is to prioritize the well-being of the individuals I serve and who place their trust in me as a licensed counselor.
