Through counseling, I aim to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space for clients to feel heard and understood. I believe that every person has intrinsic value and is worthy of love and healing. My goal in counseling is for the client to feel empowered to make meaningful, lasting change in their lives and confident to overcome any challenges they may face. My counseling approach is overall person-centered and strengths-based, and often pulls from CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), as well as other approaches. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and implement it with clients experiencing a variety of concerns. I have experience counseling adolescent and adult clients across a wide range of presenting issues. I often work with clients facing anxiety, life transitions, depression, relational conflicts, and self-image/esteem issues. As an adoptive and special needs mom, I am also passionate about walking with parents through unique challenges related to parenting.
