I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to the healing process. My approach to counseling is one that balances warmth and validation with healthy growth-fostering challenge and confrontation of unhealthy patterns through an emotion and attachment-focused lens. I would describe myself as a dedicated and authentic counselor. Areas of specialty include women's sexual & reproductive health, couples work, intimate partner relationships, chronic pain/illness and family of origin relationships. I am an advocate of social justice and enjoy working with clients around unpacking the ways systems have impacted their lives.
I have experience in providing both short-term, solution-focused counseling as well as long-term counseling. I have experience working with diverse populations (with regard to gender identity, age, economic status, race, ability). I am flexible in tailoring my work to each individual's need.
I invite you to email me if you are interested in working together and see if this feels like a good fit. I am happy to answer any brief questions you might have or address any concerns based on prior experiences with counseling before we meet by request. I look forward to hearing from you!
