Therapy & Education:
Approach:
“Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost.”
― Khalil Gibran
​
I find this quote to be true over and over again. I approach counseling as an advocate. I can’t save you from pain, but I can walk with you. I enjoy working with people to help them find peace, hope, and joy. I have worked with people who have experienced life events that will or have changed them forever. Some life events do change us forever; trauma, success, and love. Attending counseling takes courage. If you are reading this, I believe that you are courageous and have strengths beyond your wildest dreams. The hardest person you will ever face is yourself.
Therapy Style:
My experience encompasses working with a wide variety of people and issues we all face. I have experience with individuals, groups, and families. I have worked in outpatient services, residential adolescent services, and private practice.
​
I approach mental health with the idea that individuals are the experts of their own life. I have a psychodynamic viewpoint of development and incorporate cognitive behavioral, gestalt, mindfulness, and so many more theories.
