I am glad you found me. It takes tremendous courage to reach out for help! Congratulations on taking your first steps towards growth and healing. Finding a counselor can be intimidating, overwhelming, and at times frustrating. It is my hope that you can find the very best fit for yourself, and I would be honored to accompany you on this journey.
I believe strongly in action-based care and challenging unhelpful behavior and thought patterns. I will often use interventions based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Reality Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. I am passionate about providing a safe place for individuals to process through their past and current trauma and, therefore, utilize trauma-informed interventions as well. By nature, I am a creative individual and love to incorporate creative modalities into my treatment, as appropriate. Together, we’ll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence.
Asking for help is hard, and stigma is real, but you don’t have to face it alone. I'm here to break down barriers and walk with you on your path to growth and success. I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic participant. You can always expect me to meet you where you are at, and we will work together from there.
Each therapeutic approach is tailored to your unique needs, whether it’s processing difficult memories, managing overwhelming emotions, or rebuilding trust in yourself and others. Together, we can explore ways to reduce the impact of past experiences, strengthen your sense of self, and empower you to live the life you deserve.
We will get to know each other by discussing your history, goals, and what you would like to focus on during our sessions. I will then describe the therapeutic process and how I typically work with people and answer any questions and concerns you have. When it comes to your unique journey, you get to choose who supports you as you heal. I would be honored to join you on that path, providing nonjudgment and encouragement along the way.
