Starting a new year can be an exciting and motivational time. Starting the journey of building a new you or changing your life to be more authentic. My counseling approach focuses on helping you better understand you, your life, to find clarity, and purpose. This can help you become more genuine and deepen your relationships with those you care most about. I see couples, families, and individuals with a keen interest in teenagers and those experiencing transitions in their life, especially with grief. I am accepting and welcoming of different spiritual views, gender, gender expression, sexualities, etc.
I come from a Person-Centered and Family therapy background with an emphasis on Gottman and Emotionally Focused Therapy principles. I also have an existential focus on isolation, loneliness, and finding meaning in life. Additional trainings and expertise on substance use counseling, trauma, grief, depression, and anxiety.
I am here to meet you wherever you are and help you accomplish goals towards a better life. I enjoy working with diverse individuals facing unique challenges, and my goal is to build trust with you so that you feel comfortable and confident in your journey of learning and growth.
