I believe that seeking counseling requires bravery and I applaud you on taking this first step. Selecting a counselor who is the best fit for you and your personality is an important choice, and I believe that the relationship between the counselor and the client is the force that drives effective changes in a positive direction. As a clinician, I aim to provide a space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe supportive environment. I seek to meet people where they are with an authentic judgment-free approach. I believe that all clients can heal and grow regardless of any challenges they have experienced.
In counseling, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as it aids in positive ways of breaking down problems that can be overwhelming into smaller parts. I employ other techniques/approaches such as Solution Focused, Person-Centered, and Mindfulness, depending on the client and the situation.
I aim to help individuals, families, and couples in their personal and professional lives. As a Professional School Counselor, I can provide academic, career, and college counseling and assist with any questions you have regarding educational plans for your child, such as IEP’s and 504’s.
