As humans, I believe we need a soft place to land. Being in the world brings with it a variety of feelings, thoughts, and sensations, but often we struggle to find space in our lives to process these experiences. I believe the connection and safety offered through individual therapy creates an opportunity to name the parts of us that feel painful or confusing or joyful — to allow us to move toward greater self-acceptance by noticing and being heard.
I am a mental health counselor and a poet. My passion for language informs my work as a counselor because I have a strong belief in the power of naming. I have experience working with adults who are suffering with the questions and symptoms of living, including grief, depression, anxiety, & self-esteem. My style is warm, strengths-based, & person-centered.
In a first session, I like to learn about a client's story, including relevant background information, then we'll discuss current symptoms or experiences, and conclude with goals for our work together.
