My practice is inclusive of adolescents and adults of various lifestyles and backgrounds. I welcome the uniqueness that each person brings into the counseling relationship. Therefore, I may utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, as well as motivation interviewing most often in my practice.
When working with a client, I am ultimately headed towards creating a trusting environment that is conducive to exploring and decreasing emotional distress, maladaptive behaviors and increasing personal wellness. I embrace cultural competency, and I am committed to understanding the importance of the client's worldview, which I believe is vital to the therapeutic process.
I do my very best to give my clients hope and empower them to believe in themselves. The instillation of hope is fundamental in order to acquire the motivation needed to make change.
