"Only connect... Live in fragments no longer." - E.M. Forster, "Howards End" (1910). What would it be like to live a life in congruence? To live our daily lives in alignment with our inner values and truest sense of self? While everyone has a different idea of what therapy can be for them, I believe counseling can open the door to freedom and empowerment. I believe we all have something to contribute to this world, and, as a counselor, I would be honored to be a fellow traveler in your pursuit of living a life that feels authentic.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Gestalt Therapy Encourages awareness of thoughts, feelings, and actions in the present moment. It helps people integrate different parts of themselves for wholeness.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
Approach Description: I believe we are all endowed with unique strengths, perspectives, and life experiences. In this vein, I work from a person-centered (i.e., Rogerian) foundation that puts the individual strengths and identity of the client at the forefront, and I use a Gestalt (i.e., here-and-now) perspective when attending to the client's subjective, lived experience. Along the way, I employ a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to provide helpful tools for the client to use in daily life, while addressing the larger existential questions that we face as human beings.
