Counseling is a relationship between the client and counselor, working together to make positive changes to what may not be working in relationships and their daily lives. The goal of this relationship is to assess patterns of behavior and find new ways of interacting. I have over 10+ years experience with couples, families, and individuals in a therapeutic setting. I am currently doing EMDR therapy.
As a counselor, I have worked with clients with a variety of life issues, such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship issues. I am passionate about working with couples and families who may be experiencing negative interactions to find alternative patterns of relating.
I believe each client deserves compassion and kindness. Each client has their own set of issues which I address in a safe and comfortable setting.
