Philosophy

Collaboration

From time to time, we all come to a place in our lives where we realize “something just isn’t right; this isn’t working”. Counseling is a collaborative effort between the counselor and client. It is a professional relationship that empowers others to wellness, education and career goals. It is also meeting people where they are in their life, building a relationship and sharing a journey.

Foundation

Built on the foundation of honoring human dignity, I provide both Individual and Group counseling services. They are research driven and empirically based. Framed within the context of relationship, I encourage balance in body, soul, mind and spirit as well as respect for culture, heritage, ethnicity and orientation. My goal is improving personal emotional wellness and behavioral health through increased education, problem solving and critical thinking skills.

Personal Choice

As such, respecting others in order to emphasize their intrinsic dignity and potential for a healthy lifestyle is paramount. Generally, I offer a general Cognitive Behavioral perspective. Placing a strong emphasis on personal choices and individual decision-making, I cultivate self-awareness, emphasize client strengths, offer education and promote Emotional Intelligence.
