My Approach

I believe counseling is a collaborative approach where we work together to explore areas in your life that give you meaning and purpose. I believe as humans we feel our best when we have a sense of connection and trust.

     Often we come to therapy because some area of our life feels disconnected. This can be in relationship to others, ourselves, our environment, or to something much larger. It is generally through life experiences, family, culture and things that are usually beyond our control that we develop maladaptive ways of connecting. We generally lose trust in ourselves and/or the world around us. We come to therapy when we begin to see these ways as no longer serving us.

     I work in a collaborative and integrative style. I believe we all have the strengths and capabilities within us that we need; it is my role to help you uncover them. My approach is mindfulness-based, meaning that I will help you deepen your awareness of the specific ways you experience yourself, others, and the world around you. I will guide and support you in cultivating compassion and acceptance towards yourself and others, so that you feel empowered to make the positive changes you desire in your life.
