I create a warm atmosphere where clients can explore and investigate patterns of behavior in a safe place. I teach and encourage clients to be present and intentional. I have many years of experience counseling in the school system as well, so I am passionate about teaching & education.
I believe my role is to be encouraging and objective as I assist clients through their unique process of developing insight and skills to experience more healing, freedom, and joy. I have an empathetic and professional approach, and I utilize evidence based strategies. I also teach tools to help clients strengthen relationships, better problem solve, feel more confident and alive, and to reach goals.
I do believe that anyone can benefit from counseling. I take joy in seeing my clients develop new perspective and enjoy life more through the process. I believe that being connected to community is also important for mental health. I also encourage clients to discover and do more of what they love, while incorporating this into life balance.
