Pre-Licensed Professional -
One beautiful aspect of therapy is starting right where you are. Whether you have engaged in therapy in the past or are looking to try working with a counselor for the first time, I’m here to offer a safe space and company to explore what’s happening for you now. We spend much of our lives being conditioned to view ourselves, life, success, worth, and more without priority for our own well being. I invite you to set down those weighty expectations in our sessions and delve into where you fit and feel most authentically you.
I have studied and practiced a variety of therapies,such as humanistic, interpersonal, forest and other holistic therapies. I work with clients individually in a way that helps them feel a balance of supported and challenged. Therapy isn’t a comfortable process, but it can be rewarding when you have someone who unconditionally believes in you by your side.
As credited to Einstein and others: “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” I work with clients to build insight around their strengths and how to focus that energy in ways that align with their goals.
