I am a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) with Healing Philosophy in Surprise, AZ under the supervision of Samantha Moss. I help children, adolescents, and adults from a variety of populations with overcoming life's stressors and reaching their goals. I am especially passionate about working with individuals who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, or Neurodivergent disorders.
My approach to therapy is deeply rooted in person-centered principles, which prioritize the therapeutic relationship and client self-exploration. By emphasizing an open-minded and non-judgmental stance, I promote an environment where clients feel safe, valued and understood.
My role is to support clients in uncovering their internal resources and facilitate meaningful adjustments to old patterns. In doing this, I strive to guide clients toward becoming more authentic versions of themselves.
