It takes courage and strength to take the first step in seeking counseling. Life comes with challenges and can feel difficult to handle on your own. As you try to manage and explore your hardships, you do not have to go through it alone.

As a therapist, my goal is to build a supportive counseling relationship. I bring a loving, warm, compassionate, patient, and non-judgmental presence to the counseling room to help clients gain awareness about themselves and their relationships to make effective change. I want to provide a space of openness, acceptance, and positivity. A space where you can be your authentic self.

In counseling, I want to help empower and support you in living a life that feels happy and fulfilling to you, your partner, and/or your family. My eclectic and person-centered approach allows me to cater to the individual needs of my clients. I gravitate towards using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Experiential, Emotion-Focused, and Systemic approaches. I meet my clients where they are and am collaborative in identifying personal goals for therapy. My interests include working with individuals, adolescents, young adults, couples and family systems on a variety of goals. The goals can include managing symptoms of depression, stress and anxiety, life transitions, self-image/self-esteem, perfectionism, and navigating trauma. I am LGBTQIA+ friendly, identity-affirming, and culturally relational.

When supporting couples, I use a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Gottman (level 1 and 2), attachment based theories such as Emotion Focused therapy (level 1), and solution-focused approaches. Couples’ work can include pre-marital counseling, discernment, co-parenting, or strengthening the relationship foundation. This work can focus on trust-building, managing conflict, repair, and practicing healthy communication to help couples form lasting and fulfilling connections.

While working with adolescents and teens, the focus areas can include learning emotional regulation skills, navigating relationships with peers, managing life adjustments, processing childhood trauma, future planning, or managing the everyday stressors of school. I collaborate with parents and am open to connecting with others within your childs network (teachers, school counselors, psychiatrist), so I can be their ally and support them as best as possible. I also have a passion for working with families navigating relationship struggles. It is natural for family relationships to shift over time. For family work, I support families by strengthening the dynamics within the system. I specifically enjoy working with parents adjusting to their adult children. 

Outside of the counseling world, I love being outdoors, traveling/exploring new places, and spending time with friends. In my free time, you can also find me hanging out with my cat “Whiskey”, listening to music, or freshening up my karaoke skills!
