As your therapist, I will act as an empathic guide walking you through the counseling process at a comfortable, individualized pace. Developing a strong therapeutic relationship is a key component in the counseling journey.

Each person’s experience is unique to that individual. I will provide compassionate listening, understanding, and perspective of the impact your experiences have had on you. I believe collective life experiences influence and shape an individual's perception and worldview.

The approaches which best encompasses the aspects of my philosophy are the cognitive behavioral approach and systems approach. I believe these are effective approaches for working with an individual in the process of problem-solving and developing coping skills. I believe these approaches are useful for a variety of different issues.

It is my goal that clients feel safe and understood when processing their issues. As we work through your intake, I want you to come up with your goals for therapy. It is my responsibility to provide you with warm, unbiased perspective of potential barriers that may be preventing you from reaching your counseling goals. We then work on gaining coping skills and insight to overcome those barriers.
