Counseling Style
I believe that listening and providing empathy are a counselor’s greatest role and work to approach each client individually with respect and compassion. I seek to provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and comfortable space for each client in order to allow healing, trust, and growth. I utilize humanistic techniques in addition to collaborating with the client. I use eclectic orientation, with roots in Person Centered, Adlerian, Existential, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I firmly believe in the ability of all clients to heal and the importance of the therapeutic relationship.

Personal
I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I grew up playing a lot of sports and being heavily involved in Scouts, and I still enjoy being outside and engaging in physical activities (particularly swimming). I love to read and watch movies, and still enjoy building Lego sets based on some of these interests. I also enjoy being part of the church community and exploring and discussing faith.
