Counseling is not just an educational endeavor for me, it is my true life’s passion. As my primary spiritual/natural gift, my purpose on earth is to utilize my counseling skills to serve others in any capacity that I can. We have all felt sad, angry, lonely, misunderstood, unforgiven, misused, abused, fed up, and so on and so forth. Our goal in therapy would be to examine your emotional well being and how it impacts your life. While you process through everything from past trauma to current conflicts, it is significant to know that your growth and healing is what is most important to me.

Feeling stuck and lost can often cause significant distress, even leading to anxiety, depression and panic attacks. Counseling can help you navigate those blocks in your relationships, career, and personal life and relieve the distress you feel. It may help you make decisions, find success and discover meaning. Counseling may help you take the leap, mend marital conflicts and heal old wounds. I help couples, families and individuals resolve conflicts, break old habits, and try on new ones. I have completed Level 1 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy (GMCT) and use GMCT in my work with couples and families.

In my counseling practice I work to build a helping relationship with clients and help clients reach their goals through personal insight, examination of experiences and practice of new coping skills. As a behavior analyst, I work with clients to determine goals and skills that will help clients build relationships, enhance safety and learn.

Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile and for being open to this experience. I view the counseling process as developing a relationship between the counselor and client in which we explore and define the client's presenting issue. We would then work together to examine those issues and create counseling goals to improve the client's welfare. I strive to have my clients feel warmth, genuineness, and understanding within the counseling relationship. Trust and mutual respect are also needed components to enhance the counseling experience.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
