My Approach to Helping
I meet each client where they are at with a person-centered and hopeful approach to bringing about greater mental and emotional health. I believe each client has a unique story that has shaped them -- both with strengths and also with areas where they may feel stuck, frustrated, or ashamed. I help people build resiliance in their immediate context while also providing space to explore their past hurts and wounds. My approach focuses wholistically on mind, body, and spirit. I help clients integrate their highs and lows by drawing strength from internal (cognitive, emotive, and somatic), relational, and spiritual resources.

What I Say to People Concerned about the Therapy Process
While going to a therapist or counselor doesn't carry the stigma it once did, making the call or booking an online appointment feels like a major hurdle to so many of us. It usually feels like weakness to reach out for help.
But asking for help is not a weakness. It takes strength to be vulnerable and it takes wisdom to know when we need support. Most people are walking through life with struggles they try to manage on their own from day to day. Unfortunately, trying to solve our problems in isolation often doesn't work well. Many of our deepest wounds and challenges are the result of other people and our interactions with them. Ironically, our healing also tends to come through letting other people meet us in our places of deepest need. If you're reading this, I encourage you to take the next brave step by moving out of isolation and into helpful relationships.
