My goal as a professional counselor is to build a warm, open, authentic, non-judgmental partnership with my clients. My counseling experience includes working with children, adolescents, and adults. I have worked with residential treatment facilities, Mental Health and Mental Retardation Organizations (MHMR), and as a professional K-12 school counselor in public schools. I also have experience teaching counseling and counseling education post-secondary courses.
My theoretical orientation is somewhat eclectic, however I tend to use cognitive behavioral and solution focused techniques in my practice quite often. My treatment approach is unique for each client as we work together to reach your goals. I want you to feel comfortable first and foremost.
My vision in the helping process is to assist my clients in learning how to develop skills to help themselves. I believe an important piece of the counseling process is for individuals to learn how to listen effectively, communicate their needs, and learn to trust themselves. I want to see all of my clients reach their goals, grow, and be successful!
