Often, one of the primary problems that we face is not that we cannot make the changes we seek, but rather that we cannot see how. Just as it can be difficult to view our own reflection without a mirror, it can be equally hard to see ourselves clearly without another person to reflect back, describe, and/or interpret that which is otherwise invisible. As your counselor, my job is to help you bring those things into focus, not to tell you what to do or make decisions for you. You are the only one who can do that, and I believe that empowering my clients to embrace themselves and explore their values is one of the most important things I can do. It is a true gift to get to know my clients, but it is an honor to be able to witness them as they become better acquainted with and learn to accept and understand themselves.

I believe deeply in the power of individuals to create change in their own lives, and I respect the wisdom that each of my clients brings into the counseling space. As I say frequently in sessions, “You are the expert on you,” and that belief is foundational to the way that I approach counseling. Therapy is a journey toward the goals that you set, and my therapeutic approach is to act as a traveling companion who can assist you along the way, whether that be through reflection, empathy, witnessing, or offering up tools that might be helpful. Together we can tap into the understanding, experience, and insight that you already possess and find a method for working with your mind and your body in a way that supports you as a fully integrated person.

As a therapist I use a client-centered, tailored approach that often pulls heavily on narrative, humanistic, cognitive behavioral, internal family systems, all built on a solid foundation of self-compassion. I work primarily with adults and have experience with both individual and group therapy. I have extensive experience working with occupational/academic distress and burnout, particularly in clinicians, student clinicians, and college/graduate students, and a personal passion for working with clients with adult ADHD, particularly those who are late diagnosed.
