The ways my personality influence my approach to therapy, is through authenticity and positivity. I am a very positive person, and that stems from placing an importance on authenticity! I understand the way I dress, engage, and help clients are different from most counselors, but that is ok! I enjoy helping clients come to the realization that...being their authentic genuine self is freeing and move them one step closer to their definition of happiness.

My therapeutic style and approach to counseling clients is Positive Psychology with Eclectic therapy. This approach places a primary focus on client's strengths, positive characteristics, happiness, perseverance, and well-being. This approach help clients not only focus on the issues they may be experiencing, but also concentrate on what they are doing well, and how to build on it. I also utilize this approach because it is very flexible .It gives me the opportunity to incorporate other therapeutic approaches and techniques that may better serve the client, depending on their needs and issues.

Something important for someone to know about work with me would be, I accept you for who you are, where you are, regardless of situations and circumstances. I take great pride in being object and accepting, and want to create an atmosphere where you can be your authentic self regardless of what you may be experiencing. No concern is too big or small and think of time together as your happy place!
