​I believe that obstacles in the journey of life are opportunities for learning and growth. In my work with clients, my goal is to help facilitate that process of self discovery and understanding in order to promote healing and change. Often times, many of the challenges we face can be relational, and it is through understanding and communication that we can begin to  foster growth within our relationships. I hope to help guide that process so that our relationships may not only succeed, but thrive. Whether working with a couple or individual, I take a client centered approach through curiosity and solution-focused insight that is tailored to help each client safely and authentically explore their world, build resilience, and adapt to life’s challenges.

 

The most important quality in counseling is the relationship. Therapy is a collaborative experience where I join each client in a genuine way to help overcome personal challenges, gain clarity and understanding, and illuminate solutions for growth. My goal for my clients is to empower them and provide tools and skills to help them thrive. I take an eclectic approach that promotes wellness for the client as a whole. I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused, and mindfulness practice enveloped in a multicultural framework in my work with clients.   I would be honored to be a part of your journey!
