I could start by discussing accolades and modalities, but I‘ll spare you the shop talk. 

​

What you need to know is I am devoted to making acceptance and growth a part of your story.

​

I don’t have a counselor hat I put on and take off, or some sort of switch I flip when I’m with clients. When I entered the field 14 years ago, it felt like stepping into myself.

I suppose this explains why I feel comfortable with my client’s anxiety, suffering, joy, grief, questioning, and breakthroughs. These experiences make what it means to be human and, ultimately, what it means to be. 

​

You’ll often hear me say “You are a community of YOUs. The 2-year-old you, 15-year-old you, 35-year-old you, 50-year-old you, you 8 months ago, you 3 days ago… they are all you. Right here. Sitting on that couch.” 

​

​

Together, our ultimate goal is to let you have your rightful place in the present – and let that be a platform of collective wisdom for the YOUs to come.

​

Shifting your story to this path starts to change the way you see the past, the world around you, your future, and ultimately, yourself. 

​

I learn from those who paved the way before me, my experiences, my research colleagues, and most importantly - my clients. We look at your story to understand. Counseling is an experience where you get to safely experiment by honestly examining areas of your life that cause a disturbance. Together we work through thoughts, challenging emotions, encouragement, resources, insights, goal planning, problem-solving, and relationships. 

​

It is my conviction that no one should have to navigate their story alone. In fact, that’s a step in the wrong direction for most of us. At some point, we all need guidance… and that guiding role is what I am here for.
