I believe everyone is capable of growth and wellness. My goal is to offer others a safe place to come and work on their most personal and inner selves. My theoretical approach is client-centered, focusing on the counseling relationship and self-exploration. I view every client as someone pursuing healing, and I want to give them the space to bring in what is weighing on them so we can process their thoughts and feelings together. I believe the counseling relationship is the most important part of the process because it gives the client an idea of what unconditional love and authenticity feels like. I specialize in working with children as well as adults processing childhood trauma. How we were taught to relate as children can make it hard to form long-term and intimate relationships as adults. I want to help clients learn to be vulnerable and trust others again. When working with parents, I offer skills so they can better connect to their children. We are all the sum of so many moments, many we didn’t have control over. My own journey towards wellness and peace has helped me better understand my clients’ many different journeys. It can be hard work, and often it feels overwhelming or even unfair as we unpack wounded pieces of ourselves. I want to help people take control of their life back!
