Welcome! I’m glad you made the decision to seek counseling and I look forward to helping you reach your therapeutic goals. Counseling is more than just venting. It’s a process that requires commitment, transparency, and honesty- for the client and the therapist. Counseling can lead to increased self-awareness, a better understanding of behaviors, and peace regarding your past. It can help you discover your purpose, improve relationships, develop effective coping skills, and find hope in stressful situations. Counseling can be challenging and consists of taking an in-depth look at yourself. However, it is worth it!
My counseling philosophy stems from person-centered therapy where unconditional positive regard, empathic understanding, and congruence between counselor and client take precedence. I believe positive change can occur in the context of a therapeutic relationship. I enjoy working with individuals and families and treat a variety of concerns.
Take the next step and schedule your appointment today. I am honored to help you reach your counseling goals. And if after our first meeting, we don’t “mesh” I’m happy to help you find another counselor.
