About

I believe that therapy is a partnership between a counselor and a client, where knowledge and skills are combined to create solutions. A good therapeutic relationship is collaborative and defined by empathy, understanding, trust, nonjudgment, authenticity, and hope. I strive to understand my clients’ experiences through their own personal lens. After all, you know yourself better than anyone, and that makes you your own best resource. My goal is to honor and respect my clients’ lived experiences in a way that makes you open to new ways of thinking. I believe that all people naturally strive to be the best version of ourselves, but it is inherently difficult to be human. While we may not be able to control the situations in which we find ourselves, we can control our interpretations and reactions. As a counselor, I will provide a safe and accepting environment in which clients feel empowered.
