Counselor

Please be aware that self-discovery, growth, and the overall choice to seek assistance can sometimes be frustrating and uncomfortable. 

 

Clinical counseling (i.e., psychotherapy, therapy, counseling) helps an individual to manage or eliminate distressing symptoms to increase functioning, well-being, and/or healing. This type of treatment is short-term (e.g., 6 – 16 sessions) or long-term, depending on the issue(s). I offer short-term services.

 

Services nurture the growth of high-functioning and prosperous individuals.  Clients create plans and goals with me to achieve desired results.  It is the client’s choice to utilize feedback, goals, action plans, and options created together with me at their discretion. My role is not to tell the client what to do. Instead, I help guide the client to discover what one wants to do.

 

APPROACH TO THERAPY

I utilize an integrative approach, a blend of evidenced-based orientations and practices for the best results. My approaches place emphasis on the here, now, and future to help clients identify solutions and options. There is minimal focus on past issues.

 

The provider values shared truthfulness, openness, trust, respect, and genuineness in the therapeutic relationship.
