My understanding of counseling comes from many different theoretical orientations because no two people are alike. I believe that individuals have the solutions to their problems within themselves and need guidance in discovering them.

Throughout our existence, we all move through times that can bring an enormous amount of sadness, anxiety and disturbance. Perhaps the days add up, and we end up living much of our lives in this suffering. If we hold on and search, it is that deep self inside, the one just beneath the everyday routine, who can not only find the motivation to talk about these pains, but the inspiration to transform them into healing, meaning and purpose. When we take the lens and zoom in, every single one of us can find passion and vision. Joy and strength.

Sometimes we find we are walking in a fog, worry, feel alone, confused, and can't function. Thoughts consume our time and energy. We wonder, what is happening to me? Why am I so different? You must not be alone in times like this. Seek understanding for what you are experiencing. Through your past and present life experiences, perceptions are formed of yourself and of others and become your "learned history". My person-centered treatment focus assists you to re-narrate learned history and develop new awareness, which support growth with improved functioning in your life today with a manageable future.

Life brings about all ranges of human emotion and reaction. As we are all individuals, we have different perspectives on the challenges that tend to suddenly appear at our doorstep.
