My Approach
I believe we all deserve compassion and the chance to grow, heal, and change. It is my intention to listen deeply and attune to your unique needs. I want to explore what gives meaning to your life and learn how counseling can be helpful to you. I seek to create an environment where we can work toward growth that is in alignment with your values.
​
Authenticity is a core principle of mine. The therapeutic relationship between us is vital, and I will work to create a warm, collaborative space. I am influenced by Existential-Humanistic theories, as well as Relational-Cultural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mind/body integration practices. With those ideas in mind, my primary objective is to help you build self-awareness — because I believe YOU are the only expert on your life.
