The German philosopher Immanuel Kant taught that we see things not as they are, but as we are. It is a struggle to be human, and finding meaning and purpose in our life is key to helping us through these struggles. I strongly believe that nothing is ever new, and everything is connected, and we still struggle with what it means to be human. I am a humanistic and person-centered therapist, which means that I work in a non-directive, client centered way. My therapeutic approach is informed by evidenced based trainings in emotion focused therapy, gestalt therapy, brainspotting, and other approaches such as solution - focused therapy, mindfulness, and narrative therapy. I see the role of the counselor as helping to facilitate positive change by collaborating with you in a non-judgmental and mutual relationship. I will work to help you develop self-awareness and achieve your potential, and you can find your own answers and make transformative changes. I sensitively deal with individual and systematic/cultural influences to ensure clients’ goals and actions are manageable, realistic, and sustainable. For me, diversity is about recognizing everyone’s identity and experiences, and inclusion is about implementing strategies and tools that allow each individual to thrive and to feel appreciated and welcomed. **Note: No longer accepting Kaiser Permanente Insurance**
