You keep seeing everyone posting about being their best self, and showing up for themselves. Meanwhile you are just trying to be. Whatever that be, may be for the day. I believe that in order to be your best self, you must be authentic. What does that even look like? You must be true to what you’ve endured, the things that you have overcome…the good, the bad, and even the ugly moments. I help women to embrace them all. Then we take it a step further and look at building you up as a WHOLE. So your best self starts with where you are today and then we create a plan on where you want to be and who you want to become.

I believe counseling is a process of healing areas that conflict with maintaining a healthy life. The counseling process is a collaborative process that requires commitment and effort to see the process. I believe it is important to develop a therapeutic alliance to further the effectiveness of the counseling process. I believe in a person-centered approach, where the therapeutic alliance is built on trust, empathy, and collaboration. In this therapeutic process, we will collaborate to establish a treatment plan that has specific goals for the client to work towards.

I provide a nonjudgmental and compassionate atmosphere, in which you can safely explore and work feelings, thoughts, images, and beliefs that maybe keeping you from moving forward in life. I believe that for therapy to be effective, both you and I must be actively involved in developing treatment goals and assessing progress. Efforts to change self-perception, emotions and behaviors require work both in session and out of session. Therapy is a process in which you, the client gain insight, and tools that will facilitate continued growth and development after the counseling has ended.
