Counselor

In my journey as a counselor, I’ve discovered that forging connections is the cornerstone of healing for young people and adults. My approach has always been about building rapport through play, engaging activities, and now, I’m eager to incorporate nature into the mix. Personally, I’ve felt the transformative power of nature during my hikes, camping trips, and those moments reading by the river. It instills a profound sense of tranquility, allowing me to momentarily escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, which in turn, equips me to confront challenges with renewed vigor.

My passion for helping others ignited during my college days as a snowboard instructor. Now, I’m driven to integrate nature-based counseling and play therapy into my sessions, recognizing their profound impact on the healing journey. I’m deeply committed to guiding people towards discovering purpose and fulfillment by nurturing their self-awareness, fostering innovative problem-solving skills, facilitating emotional exploration and expression, and instilling confidence in their abilities.

As a counselor I use a blend of creative outlets like art, play, and outdoor activities, I aim to encourage exploration of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My counseling approach encompasses the entirety of an individual’s being, delving into memories, past experiences, relationships, environmental influences, and spiritual beliefs. Ultimately, my goal is to provide holistic support, guiding people towards self-discovery, resilience, and holistic well-being.
