To me, counseling is not just a way to address a certain feeling or behavior but rather a way to get to know ourselves better so that we may feel more comfortable and confident in the world around us. As a counselor, I believe the most important part of therapy is trusting in the therapeutic relationship so that you are able to uncover ideas about your personality, experiences, and values and how they can help you overcome your concerns and achieve your goals.
In my practice, I mostly utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address low self-esteem, feelings of anxiety and depression, and poor decision making and coping skills. I am in this practice to help and encourage individuals to find their true potential and overcome the fears and anxieties that are brought on by our world.
If you are someone who is willing to be honest and open minded about what it may take to create change, I am here to help you take the first step!
