Professional statement

As your counselor, I am here to support you in finding meaning, creating comfort, and uncovering resources to help you be your best self. Taking an evidence-based, client centered, and existentially-informed approach, I aim to provide a safe and supportive space where we can collaborate and work at your own pace to help you reach your treatment goals. I work with individuals from a variety of backgrounds on issues including depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, career transitions, and other mental health and life concerns. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, families, and groups, and I have served clients in outpatient and in-home settings. It is an honor for me to do this work. Along with the many benefits of counseling come risks. Since counseling often involves discussing unpleasant or uncomfortable aspects of your life, you may experience feelings such as sadness, guilt, anger, frustration, loneliness, shame, and/or helplessness. Counseling allows you to process your feelings and often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and relief from feelings of distress. There are no guarantees of what you will experience. In order for you to achieve the most benefit from counseling, you will have to be engaged in your therapy sessions, committed, and do work outside of therapy to meet your personal goals.


Message to clients

First off, let me just say that it takes one to know one. I am a self diagnosed high achieving, professional, perfectionist strong friend also known as the one with all of the answers. Much like you, I have found myself in many situations where I’ve felt frustrated and alone with no one to go to. Being a high performer has led to tremendous amounts of responsibility, accountability, and expectation. As natural leaders, we are often expected to “do big things” and motivate others to do the same.

This is where I come in; an unconventional therapist dedicated to holding space for those who often don’t get the chance to be vulnerable and/or transparent. As the founder and CEO of GraySpace Counseling, it is my pleasure to support you through the process of navigating the gray areas of your life, ultimately leading you to a clearer vision of SELF; self actualization, self love, and self awareness.
