I am a licensed professional counselor, and I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to share and process intense emotions and painful thoughts. Together we focus on reconnecting with your worth and value so you can learn how to truly care for and love yourself. With someone who will listen closely and provide supportive feedback, you can begin to connect with your healthiest self, build boundaries, and practice real self care and protective factors in daily life.
In our work, I draw from Attachment Bonding Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Music Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Strengths Based Therapy, Solutions Focused Therapy, and more. I use these approaches to help you notice negative thoughts and intense emotions, then offer practical exercises, reflection, and tools that support lasting change.
In your first session, we start learning healthy patterns of behavior together, using mindfulness, cognitive behavioral techniques, strengths focus, solutions focused work, and motivational interviewing. I will guide you through exercises that highlight how fear and negativity can distort your thinking, and we will explore alternative solutions and more hopeful outcomes. You can expect to gain awareness of emotional triggers and begin building coping skills to move through them.
