My Approach to Helping
Therapy is an empowering and restorative process that can help us heal from traumas and become more resilient. I specialize in working with clients experiencing grief and loss, depression, and addiction or who have experienced trauma, and I have worked with a wide range of other concerns. I offer individual and family counseling for adolescents and young adults. I believe that traumatic experiences are incredibly common but that with the right combination of support and collaborative problem-solving we can overcome even the most devastating of life experiences. I take an empathic but direct approach in therapy to empower and motivate you to be authentic and value your own strengths as you build a greater sense of confidence and self-esteem.
I integrate person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and interpersonal approaches in therapy tailored to the unique needs of each client. I emphasize taking a holistic view to understand how different parts of your life and environment can influence one another. I have training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and have worked as an advocate for sexual assault survivors and to promote trauma education.
Acknowledging distressing thoughts, feelings, and experiences can be difficult. But these moments also provide the best opportunities for change and growth. Reach out today and allow me to help you on this important journey of personal growth.
