My Counseling Approach

I am passionate about my career and want to work with you to create change in your external life and internal meaningful healing. I work to create a counseling environment where young professionals can relate to, feel heard in, find new perspective in and create solutions to their unhelpful patterns in.

My clients often feel “stuck”, struggle to find a purpose in life, feel stressed, have a hard time saying “no” to others, feel like they can’t turn their brains off, and sometimes have a hard time expressing to others how they feel.

My approach is informed by Internal Family Systems and trauma research. All is considered through a strength-based lens - with goals of increasing connection to all aspects of ourselves, heightening self-awareness and ones understanding of how our bodies carry the past, current and future happenings of our lives.  

I am well-versed in evidenced based treatment models that address presenting problems such as depression, anxiety, effects of traumatic experience, stress, and family and relationship issues. My training and experience includes working in a variety of different settings including schools, hospitals, and community mental health settings.

I am trained to help you become more aware of your internal and external behavioral, emotional, sensational and logical reactions and responses. This awareness will create new opportunities for learning and more adaptive ways of relating to self and others all while coping with life’s many stressors.

Through the counseling process with me, you can start to feel more connected, capable of dealing with the challenges of adulthood, empowered to make decisions and follow through on plans that reflect your renewed sense of self and purpose. After counseling my clients often feel relieved and empowered to make shifts in their physical, cognitive and emotional lives that often leads to a happier and healthier life.
