How would you describe your counseling style?
I would describe my counseling style as “agile”. Counselors are often exposed to many different therapeutic approaches and modalities through their education and supervision, and some ultimately may identify one or two with which they really resonate. For me, picking one or two therapeutic styles feels a bit limiting – like I am reducing my own and my clients’ human complexity. None of us are just one thing, and sometimes we need different things. One client may need a more solution-oriented, directive approach. Another may need an empathic space and listening ear while they explore and process grief, trauma, or pain. Still another may be looking for someone to help them understand past experiences and uncover hidden patterns that are preventing them from getting what they want and need in current relationships. My goal is to get to know you and all your beautifully messy intricacies and then help you make sense of it all.
What’s something people may be surprised to learn about you?
I am a horror movie fan. I love a good ghost story – the more supernatural the better. If the story includes a psychological or emotional metaphor, I love it even more. My top three films are The Babadook, The Conjuring, and The Woman in Black. Highly recommend – 5 out of 5 stars.
