My approach is always a cooperative effort and we will figure out what feels like the best fit for you as we work together. I tend to gravitate towards methods that focus on our felt sense of experiences. I believe that learning the patterns of our nervous system can help us to gain better insight into our behaviors. I also believe that cultivating an awareness and an appreciation for our nervous system helps us to make choices that are a reflection of who we are, rather than a reflection of our sensations and feelings in the moment.

I also tend to incorporate acceptance and commitment therapy as a framework to understand our journey to create meaning in a life that can sometimes be full of suffering. I believe that we all have the capacity to live lives in which we embody our core values, and that using our values as a way to make meaning through dark times, helps us to feel more connected, more fulfilled and more aware of our capacity to grow.

I offer person-centered, strengths-based counseling, that is trauma-informed. I also incorporate attachment theory, mindfulness and grounding skills.
