My passion involves helping teens and adults reach their goals through a collaborative approach that respects the individual as the expert in their life, who has found themself to be stuck in some way that prevents them from growing or moving forward. They often find that they need the assistance of a professional counselor to empower them to learn to identify and utilize their strengths to find solutions to life's problems. Most recently, I have begun incorporating my love of animals into my work through evaluating individuals for emotional support animals.
Most of us, when we find ourselves facing obstacles like depression, anxiety, stress, anger or relationship problems, know how we would prefer our lives to be; we just don't know how to get there. That is where solution-focused brief therapy can help us utilitize our strengths and experiences to successfully make positive, lasting changes in our lives.
It is often difficult to reach out for help - especially when we are so busy managing day-to-day. If you are interested in learning more about how we could work together, I would love to talk with you further about the solutions you seek to overcome life's hurdles. If one of your solutions is an emotional support animal, I can assist you with an evaluation.
