Counseling that actually helps

Sometimes it's hard to process or understand difficult emotions or traumatic experiences. I'll help guide you. I won't just ask cliché questions like "how does that make you feel?"

I'll keep it real, hear what's going on with you, help you sort through and make sense of things. We’ll set goals and work toward progress, and celebrate growth.

My approach to counseling

I have a person-centered style which means I don't pretend I'm the expert: you are the expert on your own life. I'm here to listen, provide guidance and help you heal and make sense of things.

I want to get to know you and your background, to understand the story that shaped you. My approach is attachment focused, rooted in family of origin/system theories.

My role is to be an objective listener, provide calm and patience as I get to know you, and help you create goals for your mental and emotional health.

Trustworthy. Creative. Inclusive.

12+ years experience counseling in therapy and ministry settings.

I like to use creative interventions tailored to each client's unique needs.

I embrace diversity and inclusion and have experience working with people from various cultures and backgrounds.
