About My Clients

Everyone has times in their lives where they are confused, conflicted, or struggling with something that requires help from others. I work with client to begin the process of understanding what your roadblocks to success, happiness, and general well-being are. We will work together to give you the tools to start identifying and changing thinking patterns that no longer suit you or your needs. We will explore your current boundaries and make sure they are aligned with what is best for you.

My Background and Approach

I have over 10 years of experience and utilize a variety of approaches to help you meet your goals. I truly believe in a person centered approach, as you know yourself better than anyone. We will work to uncover what you are needing and wanting and make sure you have the practical tools to achieve your goals. We will explore your boundaries, as my work is deeply grounded in helping clients build and maintain healthy boundaries. As I listened to my clients share their struggles throughout the years, it became evident that many individuals lacked well-defined boundaries, often due to fears of confrontation, low self-esteem, and a lack of knowledge about what a boundary is and isn't. Through our counseling sessions, we will collaboratively identify and fortify these boundaries, resulting in improved mental health, increased self-esteem, and healthier relationships with both yourself and others.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I truly believe we can all grow and change in a direction that feels authentic to ourselves if we can just figure out what that means and what that looks like. I believe through counseling and building this unique relationship, a space can be created for individuals to understand themselves better. The counseling relationship is a mirror reflecting the dynamics present in your everyday life. As a result, I will hold you to certain expectations, encourage you to confront and explore your feelings, and mirror the kind of relationship you are aiming to build with others. Throughout our sessions, you can always expect elements of respect, humor, and compassion, tailored to your unique needs.
