I believe our emotional, physical, social, and spiritual identities make up our unique stories. Therapy can help us understand our stories and help us choose new ways of being that reflect our hopes and values.
I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, and their families to overcome mental and emotional distress, and create lives rich with meaning and fulfilling relationships. I deeply value the role of the therapeutic relationship, and strive to work from a strengths-focused, person-centered approach.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship must be a safe, warm, and inviting space in order for therapy to be effective. I desire to walk with my clients in their hopes, fears, and aspirations towards healing and change.
It is my fundamental belief that all people are resilient and have what they need to face life’s challenges. I look forward to creating an open, safe space for clients to discover their inner strengths and find out what it means for them to lead more fulfilling lives.
After many years of ignoring my desire to be in the counseling field, I am humbled and excited to finally enter into the profession where I can make a small contribution towards a clients journey as they pursue healing, understanding, and self-discovery.
