People seek counseling for many reasons—healing from trauma, navigating self-doubt, exploring feelings of loneliness, depression, or anxiety, working through limitations that impact contentment, or building communication and relationship skills. Whatever the reason, I understand that beginning this journey can feel confusing, overwhelming, and even intimidating. It’s not always easy to know where or how to start.

I believe the foundation of effective therapy is the therapeutic relationship. I work collaboratively with clients to build this connection with care, curiosity, and trust. Rather than operating from a traditional hierarchical model, I view clients as the experts of their own lived experiences—even when those experiences have made it difficult to feel that way.

My approach is grounded in a relational framework. I integrate elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS), the externalization techniques of narrative therapy, and both person-centered and psychodynamic principles. At heart, I take an eclectic approach—because I believe therapy should be flexible and responsive, tailored to fit each individual’s unique needs, strengths, and goals.
