As your counselor, I believe that you are the expert on your own life! Together, we will collaborate to determine the patterns of thinking and behaviors that are contributing to the concerns you bring to sessions. We will explore ways in which to improve these patterns to, ultimately, reach the goals set forth by you to achieve the life you desire. The counseling environment is one that is free of judgment or bias, providing a safe space for you to share your challenges openly. With empathy, compassion, and support, we will collaborate together on how to create meaningful and lasting change in your life!
As a counselor, I utilize empirically based techniques from Cognitive Behavioral, Adlerian & Rogerian theoretical orientations to help address your concerns and challenges. We will work together to create and achieve goals within counseling to obtain a healthier, happier way of living for you.
