About

I believe the most important and impactful part of the counseling process is building a therapeutic relationship with the client where they feel validated, heard, and cared for. I use a person centered approach to therapy which allows me to meet the client where they are and allows them to begin processing barriers which are most negatively affecting their wellbeing. I use solution focused brief therapy to aid clients in building healthy solutions and goals. I also use cognitive behavioral therapy to aid in reframing negative thinking patterns and behaviors that may be holding clients back from achieving those goals. Having a session with me is much like having a conversation. My goal is to make you (the client) feel at ease and provide a safe space to be able to share and begin processing barriers. I will meet you where you are and aid you in building insights to work towards a healthier version of you.
