I believe the most meaningful change happens when people feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. My approach to counseling is grounded in person-centered therapy, where the therapeutic relationship serves as the foundation for growth. Rather than viewing myself as the expert on someone else's life, I see therapy as a collaborative partnership. Together, we explore your experiences, identify your strengths, and work toward the goals that matter most to you.

I integrate person-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral, narrative, and psychodynamic approaches to help others to better understand the connections between their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences. My work is also informed by attachment theory. I believe that every person brings resilience into the counseling process, even during life's most difficult seasons.

I strive to create a warm, affirming, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to be authentic. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and welcome clients from all backgrounds and identities. I also have experience supporting individuals navigating religious transitions, life changes, relationship challenges, and the impact of systemic and economic barriers. Through previous work in residential substance abuse treatment and life coaching, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals rebuilding their lives, discovering their strengths, and moving toward meaningful personal and career goals. I also speak conversational Spanish and enjoy working with Spanish-speaking clients when appropriate.

I especially enjoy working with children, adolescents, young adults, couples, and individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, faith transitions/reconstruction, and questions of identity or purpose. While I believe compassion and acceptance are essential to the counseling relationship, I also believe growth sometimes requires gently examining the places where our actions may not align with the values or life we hope to create. My role is to offer support, curiosity, and honest reflection while empowering you to make choices that feel authentic and meaningful.

Whether you are facing a difficult transition, feeling stuck, or simply looking for a space to better understand yourself, I would be honored to walk alongside you in your journey.
