I have passion and experience working alongside youth, adults, and couples in navigating their overall mental health! Whether it's helping clients with depression decipher where their lack or misplaced motivation is coming from, finding ways to calm any level of anxiety (i.e. daily lingering anxiety to extreme levels where it feels crippling) that impacts a person on a daily life, understanding the levels of bi-polar and how to work with them, navigating familial issues such as divorce (teenage or adult children and parents), among other concerns! I utilize a few approaches. I ensure to cater to client's needs. Emotion Focused Therapy (L. Greenberg), Emotionally Focused Therapy (S. Johnson), Self-Compassion (K. Neff), and Brenè Brown’s literature. I also have energy surrounding the Enneagram and has found it to be an extremely helpful tool for clients who are wanting to gain insight of who they are. I tell every single client this- It takes a high level of vulnerability and courage to make the first reach to even explore starting counseling. Please know that I will follow the pace that feels best for you while finding a balance of what healthy challenge looks like. This is something we will openly discuss from the very beginning and throughout our time!
