Practice Description: |
I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to heal and achieve their personal goals. I truly value the counseling experience and find that individuals who are open to it make the most progress. I firmly believe that therapy is a collaborative effort, and the more you invest in it, the more you get out of it. My approach is all about finding the right balance between validating experiences, increasing awareness, and challenging you to grow from it all. My clients describe me as supportive, reliable, thought-provoking, and funny. I consider each characteristic to be of great value in counseling.
I aim to create a safe space that encourages trust, openness, reflection, and the courage to challenge yourself in your pursuit of personal growth. I use various methods such as trauma-focused, Adlerian, humanistic, and other therapeutic approaches, which are personalized to each client's needs.
It can be difficult making the first step in starting counseling. By taking interest in the possibility of counseling, you are already halfway there. It’s okay to have questions or not know about services. I will meet you where you are on your journey, and we will work together on how to continue growth and healing.
