I view therapy as a collaborative partnership where we will work together to create and pursue your goals and build the life you desire. Through sessions, we will focus on supporting your personal growth, self-understanding, and overall well-being. You will bring your lived experiences, insights, and personal goals into our sessions, while I contribute unconditional support, attentiveness, and counseling skills to support you along the way. My approach to counseling is based in person-centered therapy with strength-based techniques. This means I place a strong emphasis on your strengths, experiences, and personal knowledge of yourself. I also incorporate creative and art-based techniques into our sessions as an additional tool. Art can serve as a way to understand our internal experience or keep us grounded in the moment. You can expect a bowl of fidget toys, lots of art materials, and unconditional compassion. I try to make the space as inviting as possible so you can feel welcome to bring your full self to each session. All emotions, experiences, and thoughts are welcome here!
