I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in the growth and development of my clients. Within the therapeutic relationship, my clients can expect to be heard, supported, and encouraged as they work through their struggles to help them move forward. I have experience with all ages – children, adolescents, and adults. As a counselor, I provide services for individual, groups, and families.
I utilize an eclectic approach that involves person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and existential therapy to assist clients with a wide range of issues. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationship problems, eating disorders, life transitions, multiculturalism and spirituality, and grief and loss.
You have taken a very positive step by deciding to seek counseling and I thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I would love to talk with you more about the ways that I may be able to help you in your journey.
