About My Clients

My clients are wonderful people who have lost their ability to see that for themselves. Through our work together, I help them let go of the hurt they have endured, and this allows them to embrace positive beliefs about themselves and the world around them. My clients are brave simply for starting this process of change, and I act as a guide to challenged their negative beliefs and empower them to care for themselves as they deserve.

My Background and Approach

As a mental health counselor, I believe that no matter how many sessions we have together, you will always know yourself best. I may challenge your thought patterns or encourage behavioral changes, but I always trust that the client will know if this is an intervention that will help them or not. I integrate elements of a number of therapies to try to tailor my counseling services to the unique needs of each individual that I get the privilege of caring for. In general, my main goal is to help clients let go of the negative beliefs about themselves or the world around them that limit their ability to live authentic, whole-hearted lives. Imagine thriving rather than surviving. Imagine living without the voice of doubt or self-sabotage whispering in your ear. Imagine living shamelessly and relentlessly yourself. That is what I hope to cultivate in the lives of my clients.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that life is meant to be enjoyed with intension and purpose. I believe that in order to cultivate a life that is meaningful and fulfilling, then we must be accountable for our own mental health and wellness. I believe in the power of using humor to heal and the importance of connection and acceptance in helping others. I do this work because I deeply believe not only in our ability to create joy for ourselves, but also the privilege of sharing it with others.
