I fall in line with the Cognitive Behavioral approach to therapy meaning that I tend to look at how a client's emotions & thought patterns influence behaviors & vice versa.
My goal is to help guide my clients to where they need/want to be despite whether or not they are currently on that path. As a counselor, I do not wear the "expert cap", because this is your life, your experiences, and your concerns. You are the expert on your life! I am here to provide an unbiased, safe place for you to talk to through (and live through) your experiences. All clients are treated equally and will be given the same unconditional positive regard. Counseling has many benefits, such as increased self-esteem, better coping skills, increased self-awareness, better daily living skills, stress reduction, & holistic health.
