Our Therapy

---

It takes courage to reach out and involve a counselor in your most intimate of life's struggles. I honor that courage. My goal is to provide a safe and judgment-free environment for you to process what's going on in your life. 

Making a connection with a counselor you trust is so important.  The most important factor in counseling is the therapeutic relationship.  I consider myself to be flexible and easy going.  I typically think outside of the box and don't get hung up on any one modality.

I tend to be very direct and to the point.  I am not good at sugar coating.  I want to help you achieve your goals and I would not be doing you any favors by allowing you to ignore or hide from the issues that brought you to me in the first place. 

I believe that we are all driven to grow as individuals and develop ourselves to reach our potential and live fulfilling lives. Sometimes life events, symptoms and/or circumstances become barriers to that development. My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and move forward, from wherever you currently are, to lead a life that is worth celebrating. 

"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself"--George  Bernard Shaw

Let's work together to resolve challenges in your life, enabling you to embrace the present and actively create your future. One way to think about this process is to ask, "What would you do if you could not fail?" Let's do it. Let's make it happen!

I use an eclectic approach in my practice, incorporating aspects of cognitive behavioral, existential, person-centered, and solution-focused therapies, as well as life coaching, mindfulness and wellness. 

Life can be very stressful under normal circumstances, and 2020 has affected all of us. I specialize in stress reduction and biofeedback to help cope with everyday life issues. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with individuals who are dealing with various additions.

Learning how to control body functions such as breathing and heart rate can help keep you centered. Biofeedback can also help those who deal with thought racing learn to calm their minds so they can relax and sleep better at night. 

When working with behavioral health issues, I use an eclectic approach in my practice, incorporating aspects of cognitive behavioral, existential, person-centered, rational emotive and solution-focused therapies, as well as, mindfulness and wellness.

I encourage everyone to have a good working relationship with their counselor to enhance the therapeutic process.
