Asking for help is hard. Sitting with your feelings is hard. Vulnerability is hard. Everyone experiences hard things and hard times and yet, no one's experience is the same. My job as your counselor is to support you, listen to you, and help you find your way through the hard and difficult parts of life in a way that respects and honors your individual perspective, experiences, and goals. I will highlight your strengths while helping you navigate through the difficulties, stumbling blocks, or crises along your path. My job is not to give advice or tell you what you are doing right or wrong but help you discover and decide what is best for yourself. You are on the expert on you and it is my honor and privilege to accompany you on your journey. Counseling is collaborative and I approach therapy with a teamwork mindset. Developing and maintaining rapport and trust with you is one of my top priorities.
