My Counseling Approach

I hold the strong belief that people are perfectly imperfect. They are beautiful and spectacular but can also become stuck, unhappy and unable to live a fulfilling life. That’s where I come in.

As a passionate and licensed Mental Health Counselor, my experience allows me to understand the best ways to address each client’s needs in an effective manner. I am flexible in my approach and use collaboration as the basis of my therapy. 

​

Through my therapy practice, I specialize in young adults and adult clients. I work with clients from a variety of backgrounds about concerns such as stress, depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, career changes, trauma, loss and grief, and other mental health concerns.

My counseling philosophy can best be described as relationship-based and existential. My approach is eclectic as I feel each therapy should be as unique as the individual, and that engaging a warm, genuine relationship is the essential factor in helping clients work towards their desired outcomes. I believe in the importance of collaborating to maximize the strengths, resources, and resilience that clients already possess. The existential approach encourages individuals to explore meaning, become aware of our own possibilities and limitations, navigate the complexities and uncertainties of life, and learn to live authentically.

I aim to provide a space where I can assist clients in the positive work of gaining insight, making change, and creating the futures they desire for themselves. To achieve this, I may utilize elements of person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, narrative, mindfulness-based and/or other therapies as appropriate.
