My counseling style is empathic and collaborative. At the end of each session, I hope you will feel lighter. My approach combines client-centered, cognitive behavioral, trauma-focused, empowerment, and solution-focused counseling. I believe people can make changes in their lives. My approach also works with perceptions of self and life in general. As perceptions change and grow, so do people’s lives. The meaning we assign to events and experiences can impact us a little or greatly. Sometimes, we may not even be aware of it. When awareness grows, change can occur. I enjoy seeing people make changes, either small or large, to improve enjoyment in life and relationships. Change does take effort and I believe it is best to start with small changes. As we work together, we will attempt to find solutions that work for you.
