My Approach to Helping

I use a client centered approach, which means you will be in the driver's seat regarding the areas of your life that you would like to discuss, and I will be your co-pilot, helping to navigate the terrain and offering you tools and wisdom along the way. My counseling style is collaborative and genuine. I approach therapy with an unconditional positive regard for my clients. My clients would describe my style as down to earth and relatable. They often say that I "just get it". I strive to create an atmosphere that is comfortable and free of judgement so that you feel safe to discuss difficult topics.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Research says that the relationship between the therapist and client is the most important part of therapy and that this is where the healing occurs. I whole heartedly believe this to be true. Though I do provide my clients with tools to incorporate into their lives, I truly believe that what they will remember about our work together is that I made them feel safe, understood, heard, seen, and cared for. I believe in meeting clients where they are at and in building a trusting and safe therapeutic relationship. Additionally, I believe most of what we struggle with is directly correlated to what we have been through and the environment around us.
