Counseling for Individuals
I work with my clients to heighten self-understanding while emphasizing strengths and discovering the landscapes and textures of their unique stories. These patterns play out in our daily lives, and when they go unexamined they can pile up in ways that bring us stress, overwhelm, and dissatisfaction with relationships and ourselves. I find it extremely rewarding to work with my clients to sort through their “pile,” and help them become, so to speak, "unstuck."
You know yourself best. I am here to foster an environment of curiosity, respect, and acceptance, and to provide you a secure base, a mirror, a teammate, a confidante, a witness. Together, we will endeavor to improve your understanding of self and your experience of the world around you.
Counseling for Pre-Teens and Teenagers
The teen years present their own unique challenges, for parents and teens alike. Adolescents are challenged to grow and succeed independently while finding their place among peers and in their community. I help teens work through their day-to-day experience of these changes, which can offer them the opportunity to be mindful about their own development and to cultivate a sense of ownership and pride in their choices.
I deeply value trust in the therapy room. When working with teens I aim to foster trust by building a partnership. I strive to create a relationship that complements their existing support system, and to offer them a partner, a guide, a safe haven.
