My aim is to walk alongside you, working together to explore your challenges, old hurts, dreams, and needs. These parts of you all have a context. Together we can explore the impact your identity, history, and place in the world play in your life. I will provide a non-judgmental space that welcomes all thoughts and feelings. You are the expert on you, even if that doesn’t feel true today. I’d love to support you in embracing your authentic self and achieving your goals. I am rooted in harm reduction using a person-centered, mindfulness-based, and existential framework. I have training in mindfulness, grief counseling, CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing.
The first session is an opportunity to consider what you’d like to work on and review some of the nuts and bolts of therapy.
I endeavor to create a warm and accepting atmosphere that will enable us to build a mutual trust. I bring an enthusiastic curiosity to my work to honor your unique story. Having experience in a variety of settings has taught me how to provide individualized care while staying in touch with my therapeutic foundations.
I am a skilled support for people who are trying to figure it out and could use a non-judgmental space. I enjoy creating a partnership to offer respect for your story where, together, we can decide what’s next. I have experience helping people with relationship concerns, trauma, grief, loss and bereavement, substance use, and mental and emotional health.
Motivational interviewing focuses on how you feel about change and what you need to consider, and then implement, a change.
Person-centered therapy views you as the expert on your life where the therapist is a compassionate facilitator.
An existential approach emphasizes meaning in life, choice, and self-determination. It emphasizes the individual's freedom to make choices and take responsibility for their own lives.
