LPC, 7 years of experience
I am a licensed professional counselor and board certified dance/movement therapist. My work is informed by humanistic, person-centered, and strengths-based approaches, as well as lenses like solution-focused therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. I strive to create an open and safe space for clients to be their authentic self, explore emotions, communication and relationships, and find ways to continue growing within the therapeutic relationship. My theoretical framework values the following core principles: communication and relationships, outward emotional expression, and the importance of seeing a client's physical, emotional, and developmental world through their lens. I focus on solution-focused and cognitive-behavioral therapy approaches, but employ additional options as needed, depending on each client's personal journey towards healing.
I strive to create a safe space for clients to be their authentic self and find ways to continue their growth within the therapeutic relationship, which starts in the first session. Building rapport, getting to know each other and engaging in conversation about different aspects of the therapeutic process can be expected in our first session together.
My strengths include meeting clients where they are at physically, emotionally and developmentally and allowing the client to be a leader within the therapeutic space.
Clients who are over the age of 18 would be best for this particular practice. In-person appointments are available on Mondays and Tuesdays only. All other visits will be virtual.
I pull from CBT and use techniques to assist with challenging negative thoughts, improving mindset and reducing heightened emotional states.
I am a board-certified dance/movement therapist and truly believe in the body/mind connection within wellness.
All of my approaches are based on the person who comes into session with me. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and finding the right therapist for you.
