In years of practicing counseling and doing my own training and research, I have learned that besides knowing "Why" it is also important to know "How." I find many people knowing where their trauma or problem is coming from, but they are still not able to move forward and resolve the issue. My focus is on understanding the client's challenges and then helping them move forward with practical and manageable steps.

Approach Description: I view the counseling relationship as one built on trust, where teamwork is a must. I look at six fundamental drives (needs) within each person that compel their behavior in a quest to experience a life of meaning. I choose techniques that fit each client’s beliefs and needs individually, and will be the most beneficial to them. Some but not all are Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Anthetic Therapy, Gottman Couples Therapy, Trauma Informed Therapy, Mindfulness and Attachment Based Therapy, and Coaching. For me, building trust, and safety in the counseling relationship is absolute paramount. It's about creating an environment where you feel completely comfortable being YOU.

I see counseling as a process in which you, the client, and I, the Counselor, collaborate in exploring, defining, and improving current situations which cause distress or hinder you from living a full and healthy life. We will work as a team to systematically develop plans for and realize future goals, and I will offer support as you continue toward greater empowerment and wellness.
I have training and experience working with a wide array of clients varying in race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, and ability. I work with couple and family systems as well as with adolescents and adults coping with trauma and other crisis situations, self-esteem issues, interpersonal issues, stress and anger management, mood disorders, work related issues, and athletic performance. I have extensive experience assisting the staff and management in employee related issues including but not limited to police involved shooting, and other work-related trauma.
