I firmly believe that every client is stronger than they realize and capable of significant change. Sometimes we all just need a little help discovering the tools necessary for making improvements in our lives. This is why although I typically work from a strengths-based approach, incorporating components of CBT and Mindfulness, I always work collaboratively with clients to develop goals and determine which approaches would best support their transformation. I strive to develop a safe and inviting environment for clients to feel comfortable expressing themselves. Along with encouraging openness and authentic communication, I incorporate patience, understanding, and humor in my work in order to develop a strong therapeutic relationship, which I believe is a crucial stepping stone to promoting change. I have experience working in college counseling centers, private practice and in a school counseling setting. It takes courage to begin the healing process but you don’t have to do it alone!
