Therapy is a joint effort between therapist and client.  I have a proven track record as a Licensed Professional Counselor and, as your therapist, I commit to provide you the best possible care I can.  Every person is unique which is why there are many different treatment approaches available.  When we meet, I will determine the approach to best suit your needs and, if needed, will change styles to accommodate different circumstances.  Although I commit to make every effort to provide effective care, your commitment is needed as well to achieve success.  Together we will create a treatment plan that will be a roadmap to your success. We will discuss the plan and use it to guide us on your journey.  Together we will discuss progress and challanges in an honest, trusting and confidential manner in order to achieve your desired outcome.

A little more about me:

I work with children, adolescents and adults.

Some of my therapy styles included Clay Therapy (a play and talk therapy) which I use with young children going through divorce, loss of a loved one (including pets), anger, depression, or even social anxiety. My experience with Clay Therapy has enabled me to work with children at various levels. When a child begins using their hands and brain together they relax and are more open to discuss issues they may be facing.

Another style I use is Choice theory. Choice theory is a model approach which emphasizes the client’s choice to enhance their lives. I view counseling as a process by which I facilitate my client’s choices in exploration, clarification and identification of their needs and help them to choose cognitions and behaviors which will result in attainment of life satisfaction and self-acceptance.

Give me a call or send me an email. I'd be happy to talk with you in more detail.
