My goal is to create a warm and trusting environment in which you can feel comfortable enough to investigate patterns of behavior, thoughts, and emotions that may be interfering with specific areas of life. My counseling approach is based on the understanding that every person has the resources inside of them to provide themselves healing, restoration, and personal growth.
I believe persons I serve are whole individuals and approach counseling with each person as an active and collaborative partnership. I work with each client to find a balance between acceptance, responsibility, and change using evidence-based strategies tailored to meet the needs of the client. I see psychotherapy as being an involved process for the client, which requires genuine efforts toward wellness, as well as an authentic belief that growth, health, and stability are possible.
I operate from a transpersonal, person-centered standpoint, which considers each person in their mental, spiritual, physical, and emotional entirety. I believe that each person is capable of living authentically, choosing their life path, choosing which values to live by, and accepting that which cannot be changed. I also believe in the inherent wisdom, strength, and wholeness that each individual holds within, which can provide guidance and support for them throughout life.
