Therapy style

I enjoy working with individuals in managing life challenges by identifying and building upon strengths to gain a greater sense of self and develop confidence. As a licensed professional counselor, I am passionate about increasing self-awareness, teaching mindfulness techniques, and providing a safe space. My goal is to provide a warm and non-judgmental environment to allow clients to feel safe and supported. I desire to meet you where you are in your life journey and assist you along the path to sufficiency, as each individual is the expert in his/her/their personal life experiences. I believe each individual has a different set of experiences and needs. Therapy is a collaborative process that works best when there is an open and trusting relationship between the client and the clinician. I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your personal goals.
