Hello! I believe counseling is a collaborative process between client and therapist. Supporting clients while they explore their issues and utilize their strengths is my first priority. I work with adults and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, substance misuse, adjustment to difficult life circumstances, and trauma.
I work from a person-centered/strength based approach. Depending on your personality and preferences, different interventions can be utilized. I have received additional training to use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and IFS (Internal Family Systems) when helpful for clients.
I encourage clients to take an active role in their treatment and work to help each client find their own direction based on their values. Examining past relationships, family dynamics, and previous struggles and successes can help provide insight into current problems and solutions. Please contact me to discuss how we can work together to reach your goals.
