Therapist Overview
I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor in practice for over ten years, working collaboratively and interactively with individuals and couples through depression, loss and grief, anxiety-related disorders, and relationship and life transitions. I meet each situation from a place of compassion, non-judgement, and authenticity and strive to help clients find their voice, feel empowered in their life, and find healing. My therapeutic perspective includes working in a psychodynamic framework with an existential influence. To me, this means to help my clients work in-depth through their past while being present in the here and now, and helping them realize their potential to live a more authentic and meaningful life. My objective as a mental health counselor is to show compassion and empathy for others and the paths that have led them to where they may be in their lives. I strive to be present with care, calmness, and understanding, especially in the face of confusion or distress.
