I am an individual and couples counselor who focuses on the relationship in counseling, the opportunity to solve problems, provide empathetic space for you to feel heard, and even laugh about the absurdity of life. You'll find that I am often straightforward and all about processing tough feelings and complicated ideas but I find so much joy in "meeting people where they are at" and matching your needs to the best of my strengths. I am largely a relational, cognitive behavioral, dialectal behavioral, and solution oriented counselor but I can mix and match a number of others styles. The biggest thing you might want to know about me is that I have a driving motto of counseling: "Nothing wasted, everything is valuable." This means that I find the "why?" behind everything small and large to be powerful indicators of what we can best due to serve you. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. Allons-Y!

My approach to counseling is based on the belief that everybody has the power within themselves to work through painful, confusing and chaotic situations, and develop a plan to live peaceful and meaningful lives. Using a variety of cognitive, behavioral, energetic and mind-body techniques, I am passionately committed to helping my clients achieve harmony, unity and agreement in their lives. I use a highly intuitive approach that is customized to fit each individual client. I like to say this: "No two people have the same history, the same struggle, or the same recovery process."

Thankyou for reading my profile. It is difficult to convey my work in few paragraphs. I have been counseling since 1998 when I completed my first master's degree in Counseling. I later earned a second masters in Clinical Social Work. I understand that change is not easy and I know that no single approach to change works for everyone. With this in mind, I am willing to draw upon a number of modalities. I use techniques from mindfulness and gratitude along with traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Reality Therapy to develop a plan of growth. I am always in partnership, working alongside the client and family as we move towards health. I believe that the client is the authority or expert with regard to their goals and needs. I follow the client's lead in developing those goals while offering my expertise in creating a successful plan. I also believe that focusing on a whole person strength-based relationship contributes to a solid base of trust and acceptance. With this solid therapeutic relationship established, the client can feel safe to be authentic and vulnerable.
