My Approach to Helping

My approach to counseling is person-centered and integrative, drawing interventions from multiple modalities depending on the individual needs, cultural background, and presenting issues of each client. The theories I primarily draw from include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Compassionate Inquiry. My goal as a counselor is to help you function optimally in all aspects of life by providing a safe space, unbiased viewpoints, challenging prompts, and kindhearted inquiries. I believe everyone possesses innate wisdom and powerful healing within themselves, and through collaborative therapeutic efforts we can access those qualities within to help you lead a fulfilling and fun life.
