About Me

My counseling approach draws on a kaleidoscope of modalities, with particular focus on addressing the client’s immediate concerns while not losing sight of their over-arching ambitions, and helping them develop the coping skills to bridge any potential gaps between the two. My goals are to enhance a client’s ability to confront and understand the origins and resolutions of their actions, beliefs, and thoughts, all while emphasizing their self-actualization. Clients have often stated that they appreciate my attention to detail, my ability to make them feel seen, and my down-to-earth communication style, all of which do not rely on boilerplate.
