My person-centered counseling approach focuses on tailoring support to each individual’s unique needs. I believe effective counseling should be personalized, recognizing and valuing what makes each client different, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. This way, I can provide the most effective, compassionate guidance for their personal growth and healing. I am committed to helping others navigate life's challenges, whether it's trauma, grief, or everyday struggles. You can rely on me for empathetic, non-judgmental listening. My goal is to be a compassionate ally on your journey, supporting you toward self-discovery, healing, and building resilience. I'm here to help you grow and overcome obstacles with care.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I usually consider the first session a getting to know you session, but I do like to meet you where you are. The first session is often where I might have the most questions as we go through answers to the assessments you will fill out.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having an empathic ear and the ability to listen. I do not judge and I feel I am good at providing a safe space where you are comfortable in my presence.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
My ideal client would be the client that recognizes their need for counseling and is committed to the process. I believe that each individual is unique; shaped by their own set of circumstances, struggles, and strengths. My person-centered approach to counseling is grounded in the belief that effective counseling must be tailored to the specific needs of each person, rather than relying on one-size-fits-all solutions. I value what makes my client different.

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
With this method we use mindful practices with parts of CBT as well. Often a person might feel pressure to make the anxiety and depression go away but while ACT can help a decrease of symptoms it is also a practice of moving forward and living with some aspects of the symptoms.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
This method helps client learn to change their negative thoughts that often cause them to feel stuck.
Couples Counseling
I like Gottman who is often embedded in many aspects of couples counseling techniques developed by others who specialize in the field. As with singles or couples, I meet them where they are and develop a plan with the couple as to what their goals are within the relationship.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I have some training with this method and I feel it works well with trauma and DID.
