My approach to counseling is relational, trauma-focused, and grounded in the belief that you are the expert of your own life. I believe in being both direct and collaborative with my clients in session. Honesty and transparency is a crucial component to fostering a strong therapeutic relationship. I'll provide feedback and guidance as we work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. By fostering an authentic and collaborative relationship, I aim to create a safe and empowering space to support meaningful progress towards your goals.
I draw from several therapeutic modalities, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These evidence-based models provide valuable tools to explore and understand your emotions, relationships, and patterns of behavior. Wherever you are in your healing journey, you don't have to navigate it alone. Let's work together to create positive change and cultivate a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.
