My Approach to Helping

Life can be hard, and taking steps to support your wellness journey can be even harder. Whether this is your first time seeking therapy, or you’re looking to revisit your wellness journey with fresh eyes, I congratulate you for taking this difficult yet critical first step.

I work with clients aged 13+, and have experience supporting clients through navigating issues such as: I have experience supporting clients through navigating issues such as: ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, education and learning disabilities, peer relationships, life transitions, relationship issues, self-esteem, trauma, and posttraumatic stress (PTSD), and women's issues.

Although I personalize my treatment plans to the individual needs of each client, I primarily utilize the following modalities in my work: person-centered, psychodynamic, and attachment-based counseling. I also draw from my background as a Literacy teacher to validate the social and academic challenges my school-aged clients often face.

My approach to counseling is collaborative, and I encourage my clients to bring their goals, reservations, fears and hopes to our sessions to make their experience as personalized as possible. I want each of my clients to leave our sessions with a sense of optimism and confidence that will allow them to continue their wellness journey independently.

My Role as a Therapist

I believe that wellness and self-discovery is a lifelong journey, and that counseling can be a very supportive force in that journey when both a therapist and client dare to show up fully.

I deeply value the humanness of the folks that I work with, and I seek to honor the full spectrum of human emotions and experiences throughout the therapeutic process. I love bringing humor into my work when it?s appropriate, and I strive to create a a space in which my clients feel safe to unpack the layers of emotions relating to the greater systems they exist within.

Additionally, I strive to create a therapeutic space where all clients, regardless of their age, race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, spirituality, or abilities feel safe and accepted. As a counselor and as a human, I am committed to continuing to educate myself on topics relating to cultural competency, and to continue to self-reflect in order to continue to understand how my privilege and identities interplay with the systems and the individuals I interact with.
