My approach to therapy is warm and collaborative, creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak freely and feel heard. I focus on process-oriented work, exploring emotions, experiences, and patterns, while also incorporating skill-building or solution-focused strategies when helpful. I aim to meet clients where they are, balancing reflective exploration with practical tools to support growth and healing. I work with adults, youths and couples, offering support through life's challenging seasons.
My practice draws from Person-Centered Therapy (exploring feelings in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT, which supports values-based action and flexibility), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT, for managing thoughts and behaviors), and other approaches as deemed appropriate. I tailor these methods to each person's needs, helping them gain insight, explore new perspectives, and discover strategies that feel authentic and meaningful.
I specialize in supporting those struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief and loss, trauma, relationship challenges, or uncertainty about purpose and direction.
