Theoretical Approach & Philosophies of Counseling:

My goal as a counselor is to create a space that is safe for you to tell your story. My approach is grounded in humanistic and holistic principles, while drawing from approaches including Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and EMDR. I believe that people have an innate capacity for growth and that meaningful change happens when we are able to understand ourselves with greater compassion and curiosity. I particularly enjoy supporting clients as they work through anxiety, trauma, depression, life transitions, OCD, and challenges with self-esteem. Most importantly, I believe counseling should be a partnership. I will meet you where you are, walk alongside you without judgment, and help you better understand yourself so that you can move toward a life that feels more meaningful and aligned with who you are.

About Me:

Outside of work, some of my favorite things to do are running, playing piano, and anything crafty. I also love reading, especially combined with a good coffee or tea. I really enjoy any time I get to be outside, whether that be on a walk, bike ride, or hike!
