I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 12 years of experience working with young adults & adults in community settings. My work is informed by attachment theory and a systems perspective, emphasizing how early relational experiences influence emotional regulation, connection, and patterns that show up in adulthood. I strive to create a thoughtful, collaborative space that supports insight, growth, and movement toward a more meaningful and connected life.
I believe the power of therapy lies in the human relationship between client and therapist. I view the therapeutic alliance as the primary vehicle for change - creating a space where clients feel safe, seen, and understood as they explore patterns shaped by earlier experiences. My clinical perspective is grounded in attachment, exploration of systems, with a focus on how early relationships influence emotional regulation, connection, and one’s ability to pursue a meaningful life. In my work with adults I utilize a wide range of interventions tailored to the specific person and need.
I strive to use the first session together to begin to build relationship and safety, using the time to identify strengths, values and needs of the person while gaining an understanding of challenges and stressors that will ultimately anchor our work together.
