About My Clients

My counseling approach is one focused on compassion and holding space, as well as validation of what is while leaving room for the hope of what could be. I believe everyone is doing the best they can with what they have access to at the moment, and our ways of surviving should be honored, while also learning to recognize what is no longer serving you and discovering what something new could provide.

My Background and Approach

The fact that you are here means you have found ways to survive, and that shows immense capability for growth. Components I can bring into the space as your counselor might include insight, new perspectives, and compassionate challenges as needed, as well as a space of safety, trust, and respect where you are able to share openly and honestly without fear of judgment, and where you feel supported at each point in their growth process. The process of growth can be a challenging and sometimes overwhelming one, but it is also not a process you need to go through alone. Together we can explore and process your lived experiences and discover new ways of living and connecting to yourself and your life. I hope to create a space of safety, trust, and respect where you feel comfortable to share openly and honestly without fear of judgement. In this space, we can process your lived experiences, build skills and practice regulatory techniques, and learn to listen to your body's wisdom.
