My counseling expertise utilizes skills and techniques drawn from: Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
It brings me joy to see improvement and growth in not just my clients, but all others around me. I work hard to ensure that those I see are validated, advocated for, and given insight that could be beneficial for them.

I can help to identify concerns that need to be addressed and offer support, coping mechanisms, a listening ear. I am a chameleon and can bring out aspects of my personality that are needed as every person is different.
During our sessions we will explore how thinking affects behavior, develop effective coping skills, and experience willingness to live life as it is when it is aligned with our values.

In therapy I will help you identify what matters most and the barriers preventing you from achieving your goals. I use a person-centered approach - you are the expert in your life. My role is to listen, and provide tools to help you be you best.
In our sessions we'll work collaboratively to identify what is causing you to feel stressed or burned out, develop strategies to get you unstuck, and identify what you want from life.

I primarily utilize acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which involves identifying what you want in life and how you want to show up for yourself and others. We work on viewing thoughts and feelings as information rather than as driving forces.
Work on anything you feel is a struggle, a crisis or an issue as we figure out what are the barriers, what comes up for me and how to change for a healthier you. Let’s improve your mental health and well being together.

My approach for therapy sessions are to provide the very best for my clients. I want my clients to have a therapeutic experience in which they gain the skills, learn better ways to cope and improve their life and mood through our sessions.
