I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. In addition, I hold a BA in Psychology. I view counseling as a journey of facilitated self-exploration to increase the level of self-awareness and understanding that helps the individual better navigate the challenges they are facing.
I work from a client centered perspective, adapting to each individual's needs. I believe every person is different, and therefore, my modalities should adapt to the needs of the individual. I act as a facilitator for the individual to discover their own strengths, modes of coping, spiritual belief systems, and creativity. Ultimately, it is my job to help individuals identify, develop, and mobilize their resources to successfully find ways to meet their own needs.
I am committed to helping people understand themselves better so that they can make constructive changes in their lives, whether that is to feel less depressed or anxious, to establish more satisfying relationships, or to function better at work. I focus on providing a safe space where you can get to where you want to be through authentic collaboration and growth. My approach to therapy is strength-based, trauma-informed, and inclusive of all identities and lifestyles.
