Approach to therapy:

I approach counseling from a person-centered and holistic lens, with a focus on the interplay between body, mind, and spirit. I utilize a values-based perspective, while also integrating other theoretical styles depending on what works best for my client. I aim to meet each client where they are, and to provide a collaborative, safe, and culturally sensitive environment for empowerment and support.

Approach to wellness:

My approach to wellness is largely focused on physical activity, as I really enjoy running, walking, hiking, swimming, and playing sports. I also see a lot of value in connection to one's environment and/or nature as a core component of wellness.
