Hello!
I am so happy that you are here on my page, because that means you are ready to contemplate a therapeutic journey together! I believe that anybody can benefit from a therapy space, regardless of where you are at in your life. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the strongest vehicle for positive change; My approach includes compassion, empathy, and building a strong therapeutic alliance!
I received a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I completed my undergraduate work at the University of Minnesota. I obtained a license as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and have had the privilege to work with diverse populations and ages. I have extensive experience working with children, family systems, and adults in a variety of settings.
I believe in a person-centered approach where my clients can feel a sense of autonomy and leadership throughout the session. I meet clients where they are at, and I'm here to support you in whatever way I can. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment theory, mindfulness techniques, and motivational interviewing skills throughout sessions. Your goals are important to me in guiding the way through the therapeutic process.
Truly, a huge step is asking for help -- I understand how difficult that can be. You did it! No matter what you are facing, I hope we can work through it together. Please do not hesitate to contact me.
See you soon!
