Philosophy and Approach

Human beings are incredibly resilient, and it is my belief that through collaboration with a trained counselor, individuals can meaningfully enhance their life path by clarifying their values, goals, and obstacles. When we go through painful experiences—whether physical or emotional—our minds can sometimes respond with feelings of guilt, shame, self-criticism, or powerlessness. In my work, I take a strengths-based, client-centered approach, drawing from solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

My role as a counselor is to form a collaborative partnership with clients, who are the experts on their own lives, and through that partnership identify a path toward living a life in tune with one’s highest-held values. Together, in a space where clients are free to show up exactly as they are, I aim to support their continued growth into the human beings they are becoming.
