I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, with over 20 years of experience in the Mental Health field including Case Management. I am a helper by nature. I often am intrigued by with the "why factor", why I have made certain decisions as well as others. I love and enjoy being a counselor and helping my clients to gain insight into their lives past and present. I enjoy working with young adults, adults, and the geriatric population. I also have experience working with families.
My theoretical orientation is eclectic, some I enjoy are: Client Centered therapy, which allows clients to gain greater trust within him or herself, form healthier relationships, increase self esteem, and express their personal feelings and opinions. I enjoy incorporating Gestalt therapy which is a client- centered approach to psychotherapy, as well as Narative therapy in working with families. I have real life experiences of trauma and sudden life changes in addition to being a natural “people person” which helps me to develop rapport quickly with clients which is beneficial for the counselor/client relationships.
I want my clients to know I am here to ensure they will grow and gain insight and enlightenment throughout their counseling process.
