About My Clients

* Couples * Individuals * Families

My Background and Approach

My therapeutic approach includes supportive psychotherapy, CBT, mindfulness, solution focused and narrative therapies to engage clients in solidifying trust, building rapport and working alongside them to set and reach obtainable goal. In addition, I also utilize elements from both play and art therapies to connect and engage clients through processing and expressing past trauma. Couple work includes both strategic and experiential modalities which in my experience have assisted clients in challenging their "stuck" patterns, reaffirming goals and re-establishing connection, roles and rules within their family system.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

"Change can be really scary in the beginning, messy in the middle, but if you hang in there, it can truly be beautiful in the end" - Brene Brown This quote most accurately depicts my therapeutic practice and philosophy. It is scary to take the unknown leap but my goal is to support my clients through those messy and scary unknowns, guiding them towards the beauty of it all. My goal is to collaborate with individuals, couples and families to build rapport, gain trust and meet clients where they are at and support through building skills to meet realistic goals and improve overall well-being. I focus on creating a safe space for clients to work through there difficulties, feeling supported. I believe it is important to offer a non-judgmental, empathetic and authentic space while at the same time challenging clients with a healthy balance of work and fun to heal.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
