Offering Individual
Counseling Services
Specializing in working with adults who need support with anxiety, depression, trauma, major life transitions, relationship stress and adaptation to disability.
My approach
Focusing on compassion, collaboration, and building and maintaining a therapeutic alliance, I take a strength based, client-centered approach to counseling, where emphasis is on the individual’s unique qualities, experiences, and strengths. Depending on your needs, my methods may include Humanistic and Experiential Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I meet clients where they are at and work with people to determine which counseling approach would best suit their needs.
My ideal client is someone who is invested in exploring the benefits of counseling and willing to show up and meaningfully participate. Having someone to connect with who can provide a different perspective and hold space for you to process can be so validating and empowering. With empathy and compassionate curiosity, I am here to support you and your personal growth.
