Passion
It is my sincere honor to walk alongside each of my clients with empathy and joy as they navigate life’s mountains and valleys. I believe that showing up for oneself in therapy is very brave, and it is my job as a counselor to honor that courage by creating a space for my clients to learn to process, heal, grow, and just “be” in whatever area they are walking through.
Approach
My counseling style comes from a very holistic approach, emphasizing the model of biopsychosocial-spiritual as a means for ultimate human flourishing. While each of us is unique and comes from different backgrounds and experiences, at our core, I believe these elements run deep within us all. It is important, therefore, for me to create a space that is free of judgment and is tailored to the client’s goals and needs.
Practically, this looks like utilizing the modalities of Emotionally Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also really identify with Attachment Theory, as I believe it gives language for the experiences and social settings that shaped all of us and helps us apply our upbringing to today’s context.
Furthermore, I enjoy art, creativity, nature, and hands-on experiences to enrich the therapeutic journey and engage different parts of the brain, which unlocks growth and unmeasured potential for healing. While I aim to be integrative in my theoretical approach and faith-based by nature, I am here to serve you and ready to meet you where you are in the process of healing.
