My Counseling Approach

I’m passionate about the work I do and deeply committed to walking alongside you as you work toward meaningful internal healing and lasting change in your external life. My goal is to create a counseling space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to break free from unhelpful patterns and move toward a more grounded and authentic version of yourself.

Many of the individuals I work with describe feeling “stuck,” overwhelmed, disconnected from purpose, or unsure how to say “no” without guilt. They often struggle to quiet their thoughts or put words to their emotions and and they’re ready for something to shift.

My approach is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and informed by current trauma research. I view each person through a strength-based lens, aiming to increase self awareness, foster a deeper connection to all parts of the self, and explore how our bodies carry the weight of past, present, and even anticipated future experiences.

In our work together, I’ll help you tune into the emotional, physical, and cognitive signals that shape your responses - internally and in relationship with others. This awareness lays the foundation for learning new ways of being, relating, and coping.

I also draw from a range of evidence-based treatment approaches to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic stress, and relationship dynamics. My clinical background includes working in schools, hospitals, and community mental health settings, which has given me a wide-ranging and compassionate understanding of diverse client experiences.

Counseling with me is a collaborative process. Over time, clients often find themselves feeling more connected, confident, and capable of making decisions that align with who they truly are. Many leave therapy with a renewed sense of purpose, relief, and the tools needed to create a more emotionally, mentally, and physically fulfilling life.
