About My Clients
I am excited to work with clients from diverse backgrounds and with various presenting concerns. This includes but is not limited to: anxiety, stress, depression, anger, and self-esteem. Additionally, I am a strong advocate for those battling issues with addiction, both substance and behavioral. Addiction, nor any other issue, should not be treated with a one-size-fits-all approach. Ideally we would collaborate together in identifying, prioritizing, and reaching your goals.
My Background and Approach
My primary therapeutic background is Person-Centered and I firmly believe that each client is the expert of their own life. I wholeheartedly embrace the viewpoint that the counseling relationship should be collaborative, open, and authentic. It is the process of building a trusting relationship that fosters a growth mindset specific to each client's presenting concern. With that, my clinical approach focuses on learning any and all pertinent information about the client during our early sessions. Beyond a person-centered philosophy, I see great value in many other evidence-based modalities and have experience incorporating several approaches. I want to meet each client where they are at and incorporate methods that make sense to the specific individual.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
After working in a corporate environment for almost 20 years, I made the decision to pursue a career in counseling. Though many factors played into this decision, the impact that personal counseling brought into my own life played a monumental role. My aim is to bring a positive impact into your life, regardless of the circumstances. With that, I am a believer and practitioner in unconditional positive regard. Simply put, this means that I accept and support each client without judgement.
