As a counselor, I believe that you are the expert in your own experiences and that our lived experiences teach us about the life that we want to curate for ourselves. As your counselor, my approach is to assist you by asking you questions to help you discover or rediscover your purpose in an empathetic and curious way. We co-create an environment of exploration by finding ways to encourage authenticity in our space so that we can explore the root causes of behaviors in an environment of care and compassion. During our process, we do work to untether you from toxic patterns so that you may experience what life has to offer you.,
This work is done by gently challenging these patterns, and providing direct feedback to you in the process. I also strongly believe in the practices of empowerment, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-informed mindfulness practices as we go on this journey of discovery.
I have experience working with people from all walks of life, and I really enjoy doing work with people who are first-time clients, or who have concerns with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Relationships, Divorce, Non Traditional Relationships, Spirituality/Religion, Self Esteem/Self Compassion work, Identity Development, and Adjustment Issues.
