Guiding clients to find their true and authentic lives is the primary goal of therapy intervention. As a clinician, I practice from a humanistic approach, which is both trauma-informed and individualized to meet each client’s needs. Through compassionate, client-centered methodologies, I work with the client to develop an understanding that allows for healing and growth.
I strive to facilitate an atmosphere that is warm, accepting, and judgement free, through which we work together to create a space for the client to explore their thoughts, feelings, hopes and dreams to overcome life’s obstacles. I take a collaborative, strengths-based approach to therapy, and join my clients in their journey to self-discovery.
I provide individual counseling via telehealth to adults and adolescents aged 13+ struggling with grief and loss. As well as depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.
