Through a combination of therapeutic techniques, I engage my clients in identifying their beliefs and collaboratively develop new coping mechanisms that address their concerns. My counseling practice offers a warm and confidential atmosphere where the services are goal directed, aiming for resolution of issues and improving the quality of life within an optimum period of time.
With over 25 years in the helping profession, I have learned the importance of approaching each individual as unique and each problem as having options. The most essential aspect of therapy is the trusting relationship I have with each client. I have found that utilizing various counseling approaches to help solve and adapt to life’s problems are essential.
Counseling is a collaborative process and the progress made is dependent in large measure upon the client’s investment in the process.
