GROWTH-ORIENTED HEALING
I use an interwoven approach to counseling, tailoring my work to the individual needs, goals, and challenges of each client. I primarily draw from Intersectional Feminist ideas and Humanistic Therapy, meaning I believe we are all human, our identities matter, and we are doing the best with what we have. I also use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based approach that helps clients make observable and powerful behavior changes in their lives.
COUNSELING FOR TEENS
Guidance & Inspiration
High school and young adulthood are times of incredible change, ranging from excitement and inspiration to feeling paralyzed by uncertainty. Counseling can help us find an anchor in a world of seemingly unending pressures and expectations. My teen clients see me while preparing for college, work, or gap years. We work together to manage depression, anxiety, and stress with friends, family, and school. In therapy sessions, we work on self care for general life overwhelm. Sometimes all we need is a non-judgemental space to talk about what is happening each week. Counseling can be a place to vent, to develop new skills, and to ask big questions such as "who am I and who do I want to be?" and "what is my favorite kind of pizza, really?"
COUNSELING FOR ADULTS OF ALL GENDERS
Embrace Life’s Challenges
Life throws many surprises at us, and while we cannot predict the outcome of any situation, we can take control of how we respond to certain situations. I work with my adult clients to understand their challenges, increase flexibility and openness to new possibilities, work toward acceptance, and identify the power of choice we have when faced with life's uncertainties. As we work together, we can expand our feeling of being stuck and find space to discover new possibilities for how we want to live our lives.
