About Goldfinch Counseling

Helping individuals and couples navigate life transitions and unexpected challenges.

My Philosophy

I view the challenges you’re facing not as ‘disorders’ in the traditional sense but as part of the rich tapestry of human experience. Life is hard and everyone struggles and faces difficult times – it’s just part of being human.

Instead of labeling these experiences as pathologies or medical conditions, I approach them with compassion, seeing them as natural responses to the complexities of life and your particular situation.

By reframing these challenges, we can work together to find understanding, growth, and healing without the weight and permanence of stigmatizing labels.

Life is busy, so if you are like most people, you don’t take the time to process and reflect on your life – maybe you’re barely surviving. I create a therapy environment that provides a time and space for self-reflection and exploration, which over time, can rewire the brain and help you live a more intentional, authentic, and meaningful life.
