The AKA Therapy Team

I view therapy as a way to create safety for clients to explore their experiences in terms of processing emotions, gaining confidence to move their life in positive and meaningful ways, and finding acceptance and kindness of and to self. I use multi-modal approaches.

My goal for working with clients is to create a strong therapeutic alliance that helps you to find your best self.

I equally support the importance of emotional exploration and logic. My kind but direct, no non-sense style helps clients to feel heard and supported while making informed decisions towards embracing accountability and control within their own lives and reaching for their goals.

My experience and training supports a vast array of techniques and provides a base for creative exploration of your individual and couples needs.

I offer a strength-based, eclectic approach that encourages collaboration between myself and the client. Each individual has their own story, and I strive to meet the unique concerns and goals of every person through collaboration, discovery, and support. This can look different for each person, but I invite these concepts into the therapy room every day. 

Together we will navigate life’s complexities to help you find healing, balance and happiness.

I find that therapy is a collaborative journey of exploring and reshaping personal narratives—helping clients process emotions, reconnect with their strengths, and moving toward more meaningful, empowered lives. I use a strength-based and trauma-informed approach to support self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience.

​

My goal is to build a strong therapeutic alliance that honors your experiences and supports you in growing toward your values, intentions, and sense of self.

I approach therapy from a space of meeting my client where they are at and then helping them find their own path forward towards becoming the happiest, healthiest, human they can be. Through the use of multi-modal therapeutic interventions.

I strive to support you in every way I am able while still holding you accountable to the most important person... YOU!

I perceive the therapeutic alliance as a space to empower clients to view themselves from a strength-based perspective. Using interventions such as unconditional positive regard, authenticity, humor, and creativity, I believe change is possible through the healing aspects of human connection. 

I look forward to working together to help you reach self-compassion, healing, and wellness.

I see the client as a whole person and not just challenges or symptoms. I value fostering a therapeutic relationship that is led with compassion, curiosity, collaboration, and focuses on the strengths of the client in order to facilitate positive change.                
   
I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you in reaching your goals!
