Sometimes our life experiences have a way of causing an altered view of ourselves and the world around us. Trauma and grief can also cause us to disconnect from our lives and the people we love, leaving us feeling unsettled, anxious, and lost. My approach to counseling involves creating a safe space for my clients that supports self-exploration, understanding, and personal growth. My strength-based, trauma-informed practice draws primarily from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness practices, and internal family systems. Together, we can define your goals and values, and explore who you truly are. Therapy is, at its core, a relationship - one that must be a good fit for any honest and pivotal work to be accomplished. I am honored to work with teens, adults, and elders of every background, orientation, religion, culture, and belief system. So, whether you are experiencing a life transition, painful episode, a wish to strengthen relationships, or are seeking further personal growth, I encourage you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation with me to see how we can work together to help leverage your strengths into your greatest growth.
