My Approach to Helping

I take an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-based approach to counseling. ACT is an evidence-based approach that helps us process and change our relationship with discomfort rather than push it away. The beautiful thing is that when we make space for life’s harder moments, we also create room for joy, purpose, and fulfillment. Because work with me often integrates mindfulness and meditative practices, I find it resonates best with folks who are curious about mindfulness, those interested in beginning a meditation practice, or anyone who already has an established connection with mindfulness and meditation. Ultimately, if you’re seeking a warm and supportive space that supports your journey towards growth, healing, and joy then we may be a great fit to work together.

My Values as a Therapist

Me belief is that the therapeutic relationship we can build is one of the most healing parts of the process. My goal is to build a space for you that feels consistent, comfortable, and free of judgment; somewhere where you can show up as you are. I’m genuinely curious about your life, your circumstances, and what makes you, you. Whether we are navigating everyday struggles or life's greater challenges, I want our work together to be a place where you feel supported and understood by a genuine human being sitting across from you. Also, I can guarantee we will find some joy and silliness along the way :-)
