As a counselor, it is my job to see and understand people as individuals. To help people find the strength within that can so easily become forgotten. There are various schools of thought that I pull from such as REBT, CBT, and DBT depending on the needs of the individual. My approach is humanistic in nature, which means that the sessions are client driven. I believe the journey to wholeness starts with taking time for self-discovery. I enjoy empowering individuals to find and work through their barriers to success. This approach is used when working with adults and adolescents.
