My Approach
My counseling style is warm, compassionate, casual and accepting. I want you to know you are seen and heard, and I am curious about what it’s like to be you in the world. I strongly believe that you are the expert on you and that, once given a little time to breathe in a safe space, you will begin to connect to important parts of yourself that will foster healing and growth. I will be your partner in this process, helping you to gain fresh insight, feel self-compassion, and see your strengths.
My counseling approach is rooted in person-centered, attachment-based therapy. I believe that an authentic, trusting relationship between counselor and client is the foundation for change, and serves as a powerful launching pad for including other therapeutic strategies and skills that best fit with your intentions, hopes and goals.
I often incorporate emotion-focused therapy and Internal Family Systems therapy into my work as increased connection to and awareness of the roots of your own emotional experience can be a powerful catalyst for change.
Ultimately, I listen to you, learn about you and from you, and draw from a range of therapeutic strategies I have experience with in order to find those that are the best fit for you in this moment.
