I have worked here privately online for a little over one year and have provided counseling services to variety of people with various backgrounds. I use a variety of treatment approaches but mostly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is focused on how thoughts, behaviors, and emotions are connected and how if we change one then the others will be affected. I am also like Solution-focused Therapy approaches and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy approaches. I have had some formal training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and have used it with clients as well. I use variety of approaches though, depending on what is called for and what I and the client determine might be best for them.

My goal is to help others grow, regain peace, joy, and healing in their lives by providing nonjudgmental counseling, empathy, encouragement, and support to achieve wellness. I believe in working collaboratively with you to help you define the tools needed to overcome obstacles, deescalate situations, make better choices and negotiate positive outcomes to be the best you can be. My approach is partnership. The client and therapist decide together what are the major issues and how to work through them together. Please be aware working on emotional issues can be painful and you may feel even worse as you confront your past and present conflicts as you journey towards wellness. During the therapeutic process you will identify troubling situations, be more aware of thoughts, emotions, and beliefs about problems, identify negative and inaccurate thinking and reshape negative or inaccurate thinking by learning coping mechanism so you can move toward a healthy and fulfilling life.

I am a LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with over 14 years experience working with adults and teens. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, adjustment to life transitions, relationship issues, depression, motivation, self esteem and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I provide support, guidance and accountability with kindness and humor. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or significant life changes, making the decision to ask for help takes courage and is the hardest and most important step. Asking for support can be the most difficult part of the journey, so well done for making the decision to put your mental health first! My belief is that the counseling process is a collaborative partnership between therapist and client(s). Working together, we will explore current concerns and develop realistic goals. My theory of counseling is Adlerian, which is based on the notion that people are responsible for their behavior, thoughts, and feelings. As an Adlerian counselor, it is my belief that each of us is searching for significance and belonging. Based upon early experiences in life, we develop ways to strive for this significance. Over the course of time, however, we may find that some of these constructed methods are no longer helpful. As a result, we find ourselves discouraged and disconnected from ourselves and others in various aspects of life. In counseling, we will explore areas including your early experiences, belief system, personality style, and coping mechanisms to identify and understand what exactly is no longer working for you. We may focus upon thoughts, feelings and/or behaviors, and a variety of techniques may be introduced. Based upon your insights, we will work together to identify an action-oriented approach for you to achieve your goals. If you have any questions regarding therapy, please feel free to ask.
