I am a licensed professional counselor with over 19 years of experience. I have helped individuals from early childhood to senior adult ages; within schools, clinics, hospitals and in-home settings; from homeless to privileged socioeconomic statuses; and from a variety of cultural backgrounds. I consider my most valuable quality to be an ability to connect with my clients across these 'invisible lines' that so often divide individuals.
My approach to therapy can best be described as a hybrid between cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy and strength-based therapy. Simply stated, you can expect me to be supportive, encouraging and perceptive while you share your story with me. Together, we will develop and work towards your individualized therapy goals and desired outcomes.
I strive to assist individuals achieve more satisfying relationships with others and a better quality of life through increased levels of self-awareness and improved communication skills. The ultimate goal is to identify ways to address current issues while also preparing individuals proactively to maneuver future challenges. If someone is in distress or seeking help to make positive changes, I appreciate opportunities to become a part of their personal journey.
