I have 7 years of experience working with a wide variety of common issues that show up in therapy such as depression and anxiety, as well as often related problems with relationships, money, self-care, health, addiction, and unhealed trauma. It’s my experience that these issues are often interrelated, and I work from the perspective that childhood and family experiences frequently impact our ability to function in adulthood.
I work with a blend of counseling styles including Person-Centered, Psychodynamic, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This means that I tend to approach problems in life from two angles: the first is the here and now – what’s happening, and where are the opportunities for change; the second is to look at the past – how we came to be who we are. Throughout this work, my underlying focus is always on creating a sense of trust with me, so that you feel safe and comfortable to just be you.
I think of counseling as a series of productive conversations with a trusted companion. Sessions with me will feel friendly and informal, but will always be focused on introspection, empowerment, and evolution.
