As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my primary obligation is to respect the integrity and to promote the welfare of my client. I see counseling as a process in which you, the client, and I, the counselor, having come to understand and trust one another, work as a team to explore and define present problem situations, develop future goals for an improved life and work in a systemic fashion toward realizing these goals. I will facilitate an atmosphere of warmth and trust in which to establish rapport between you and myself. The objective of therapy is to establish therapeutic goals and implement a planned change in your life.
I approach counseling from a cognitive-behavioral perspective in that patterns of thoughts and actions are explored in order to better understand the client’s perspective and to develop solutions. Brief therapy, Solution-Focused, Reality therapy, EMDR, DBT, CBT techniques are used when applicable. Strategies are used which encourage self accountability.
Understanding your experience and helping you to recognize your own resilience is my top priority. Let me share in this journey with you. Contact me today to see if I can assist and guide you in taking the first steps to healing.
