Counseling

APPROACH

I see the value in each person, and strive to help them to feel valued and to see that value in themselves. I know that lives are complex and take a holistic approach to counseling, focusing on the mind, body, and spirit. I believe that each person has the ability to live well and am honored to have the opportunity to help people along the path to wellness.

WHO I SERVE

Some of the common areas I provide therapy for include grief, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, insecurity,  PTSD, life transitions/unknowns, addictions, and self esteem. I have a passion for working with males, young and old, to help them become more self aware and connected to their whole emotional selves. I also enjoy working with LGBTQ+ individuals as they navigate personal and societal challenges. I assist individuals age 8 and older. 

TECHNIQUES

Some of the therapy approaches I may use are compassion focused, internal family systems, mindfulness-based, gentle  teaching, dialectical behavior, cognitive behavioral, motivational interviewing, emotion focused couples therapy, attachment-based therapy approaches, and EMDR.

APPROACH

Reaching out for help can be scary, so my goal is to make therapy less intimidating. I bring a calm, nonjudgmental presence, offering my undivided attention so that you feel heard and supported. I value you and recognize your uniqueness.  Whether you are seeking support for a current situation, something that happened years ago, or an issue that seems to have always been there, I am here to support you.  

WHO I SERVE

I partner with clients who are working through tough situations, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions and more.   I enjoy helping people feel more comfortable and confident in who they are. This confidence helps my clients to show up better in their relationships with significant others, family, friends, at work or school, and every aspect of life. I work with adults, teens, and children, offering support to individuals and couples. 

TECHNIQUES

My work is client-centered and strengths-based. Some of the common modalities I use include Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy,  Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness Therapy. I am also trained in a number of additional techniques for individuals, couples, and families. My choice of modality changes based on the client's unique needs.
