Theoretical Approach & Philosophies of Counseling:

My approach to therapy is to build a therapeutic rapport where clients can feel safe and heard. I believe everyone can use a supportive, nonjudgmental space to navigate the challenges that life brings, whether that challenge comes from family, peers, or within. I have a diverse background working with different populations and clients across the lifespan, however, you are the expert of you and together we will work on strategies that allow you to address any challenges you face. I utilize a variety of counseling modalities Person- Centered, Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), Solution Focused, Mindfulness and more. I have been described as genuine, having a sense of humor and empathetic.
