My Approach to Helping

I believe that change through counseling stems from the connection built between two people, providing a sense of security that allows for exploring new ways of thinking, feeling, or living your life. As your therapist, I want to be someone who you can speak freely with, who can be there for the good and the bad as you pave a new path in your life. My goal is to build a trusting relationship that supports you in navigating life's complexities. I approach counseling with a focus on gaining insight into who you are and what you have experienced in your life, building skills to manage stress and difficult emotions, and creating meaningful change in the way you relate to others. Along with these clinical approaches, I engage with my clients in a manner that is both sensitive and analytical. My goal is to create a compassionate, collaborative space where individuals can understand their experiences, resolve internal conflicts, and move toward more authentic and fulfilling lives.

More About the People I Treat

I work with people as young as 14, and adults throughout the lifespan. You might be coming to counseling with something very specific that you would like to work on, or you might be unsure why things are not feeling right in your life. Perhaps you are feeling like your life is not going the way you had hoped, and you are missing a sense of purpose, excitement, or passion. In all of these cases, I work with clients in a collaborative manner to help figure out the best path forward. I strongly believe in approaching counseling through a holistic lens, considering the ways that your environment, work or school related stress, relationships, social systems, and traumatic or other lived experiences might affect you in the present. With these considerations, I will support you in building a greater sense of self-awareness, allowing you to develop tools to live more closely in line with your values and aspirations.
