My approach is anchored in promoting self-awareness and helping clients reflect on what truly resonates within them in order to better build a meaningful life. I believe in relationally centered counseling methods. Each person has a history all their own and innately knows and are capable of making changes. Diving into unhealthy, automatic thinking and behavioral patterns, examining unresolved grief and trauma, improving self-care, harnessing the restorative effects of nature, and practicing mindfulness skills both in session at at home are some techniques I use. Examining the whole picture and discussing topics like nutrition, relationships and if your basic needs are met feels important. Therapy is like a river that takes its own course, and sometimes healing isn’t quick or straight forward. I hope to be an ally to clients during their navigation process.
