Becoming a Relationship Therapist

As human beings, we are hardwired for connection. We navigate this world meeting different souls at multi-levels. Despite our innate yearning for connection, we were not given a handbook on how to successfully navigate relationships. Even in the best possible relationships, you are going to get hurt sometimes and no matter how much you love someone, you will at times also hurt that person. Not because you want to but because we are human.

The great news is that there is room for repair, beautiful growth, and love. Let's explore that handbook together.

Counseling Philosophy

I am passionate about helping others. I believe that therapy is an existential experience of self-understanding, exploration, and growth. I want you to come into this place knowing this is your safe space, a space for you to be your authentic self, without fear of judgment.

I find it helpful to identify our experiences from our formative years because they often provide insight into our maladaptive core beliefs, or lies we've been telling ourselves. These beliefs keep us stuck, yet as adults, we have the power to adopt new and redefined beliefs that will aid us in stepping into a life of fulfillment and joy.

Counseling Style and Strengths

My counseling style is non-judgmental, compassionate, and warm. I want to meet you where you are. You are the expert in your life and I am here to support you and help you explore what is getting in the way of you living out your fullest potential. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on this path of healing.
