Counseling Approach
My personal approach to therapy stems from the belief that every individual is the truest authority of their story, and that my role is not to change that story or challenge that authority, but instead to: help foster insight, support awareness of patterns that may no longer serve you, and create a collaborative space where growth, healing, and self-understanding can occur.
A goal of our work together will be to explore the connections between past experiences, present challenges, and future goals as you navigate the concerns that brought you to counseling.
I support teenagers and adults working through a range of mental health concerns using evidence-based approaches including CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Person Centered Therapy.

Individual Counseling Services
What to Expect
Initial Consultation
Taking the first step can feel daunting, I offer a free 15 minute consultation call to ease that process and explore whether we're a good match.
Intake
Before our first session, you'll complete a brief intake form to help me get to know you a little before we meet.
The Path Forward
Ongoing sessions are where our work truly unfolds. Each session builds on the last, giving you consistent space to process your experiences, develop new perspectives, and work toward the goals we've identified together. We'll regularly check in on your progress and adjust our approach as needed.
First Session
Our first session is a chance for us to connect, discuss what brought you to counseling, and begin shaping a path forward that feels right for you. There's no pressure, we move at your pace.
Treatment Planning
After our initial sessions, we'll work together to develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific goals and needs. This serves as a flexible roadmap for our work together, and is revisited and adjusted along the way.
