I would describe a session with me as warm, collaborative, and rooted in the counseling relationship cultivated in session. In an effort to cultivate that relationship I invite people to share the breadth of their experiences and emotions; whether that be through sharing in laughter and humor or exploring vulnerability and sorrow.

My goal is to provide a space where you feel comfortable experiencing and exploring these emotions, being your authentic self, and feeling safe to explore anything that comes to mind. I believe that people often seek therapy due to recognizing the way they are living/experiencing life is incongruent with the way they want to live/experience life and through our sessions a congruence within oneself can be sought after and worked towards.

​

I draw from approaches like Person-Centered Counseling, Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Committal Therapy (ACT). In session, these approaches often manifest through slowing down and exploring various thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors; bolstering communication skills to develop and maintain meaningful relationships; directing sessions through current, past, and future concerns; and working on changing the beliefs/thoughts/behaviors that feel changeable while accepting the ones that do not, to have a more congruent experience through life. 

​

I am committed to walk alongside you as you navigate the dynamically joyous and painful experience that is life and for those times when 99% of you is convinced that nothing can or will improve and hopelessness has settled in, I would be curious about the 1% that brought you here and keeps you going. Let’s start there.
