**Currently full! Are you an adult looking for objective perspectives to issues you are dealing with in your life? Perhaps you could benefit from self reflection and change? Want to be challenged in a gentle way to live up to your full potential? I use a variety of approaches to my counseling style as each individual has different needs and brings something unique to the counseling relationship. I offer a comfortable and safe, nonjudgmental environment. I believe correcting faulty thought patterns can be helpful for clients ruminating over negative or unrealistic thoughts or feelings, so cognitive behavioral techniques are used.

I work with the belief that the therapist and client, together, engage in a conversation to develop an awareness of the patterns of thinking, imagining, and responding. Understanding, of how language helps and hinders our relationships with others, as well as ourselves, can lead to the development of new patterns of communication and intimacy. The approach allows for cognitive and behavioral interventions specific to the clients needs.
