The belief that every person has the ability to make meaningful, positive change in their life is core to my work. It is my goal to hold a safe space for talking and feeling through the good and difficult things you have experienced in life. We will work collaboratively to create goals, identify your strengths, overcome barriers, learn and utilize effective communication techniques, develop coping skills, and bring about positive, lasting change. I use a strengths-based person-centered approach, which means I am non-judgmental, have empathetic understanding, value authenticity, and I focus on your personal and community strengths. I employ aspects of other approaches such as somatic, narrative, CBT, DBT, ACT, family systems, among others. I have experience working with anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, trauma, ADHD, Autism, OCD, life transitions, struggles with self-esteem, and self-harm. If you experiencing faith changes or are deconstructing previously held ideas about religion and faith, this is a safe space to explore those new ideas and work through these changes.
