Who might I be a good fit for?
I enjoy working with teens, adults, and couples who are moving through changes, challenges, or times when life feels a little harder to navigate. You may be experiencing anxiety or depression, working through relationship concerns, adjusting to health-related changes, or simply looking for support and a fresh perspective as you figure out what comes next.
What concerns do people commonly bring?
Sometimes people come in knowing exactly what they want help with, and other times they just know something feels off. You may be navigating a difficult relationship or divorce, feeling stretched by stress, adjusting to a change in your life, or finding that familiar ways of coping aren't working as well anymore. Our conversations can be a place to sort through what's happening and begin finding a way forward.
How do I tend to support people?
I see counseling as something we do together. My approach draws from Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, and systems perspectives. We'll look at both the challenges you're facing and the strengths you already have, while building practical skills and exploring solutions that fit your life and what you want to change.
What might it feel like to work with me?
You can expect a supportive, collaborative space where your perspective matters and your strengths are part of the conversation. I want you to feel heard and respected while also having room to consider new possibilities. My hope is that our work helps you feel more confident in your ability to navigate challenges and make choices that move you toward the life and relationships you want.
