Counseling Approach

I believe counseling is collaborative and relational. I draw from a myriad of theories that have been shown in research to be effective to counseling success. I am fundamentally humanistic in my approach whereby I respect the diversity, dignity, and uniqueness of every individual with whom I work. Additionally, I will incorporate cognitive, affective, existential, and behavioral techniques that are appropriate for your concerns. Upon meeting, I do my best to create an atmosphere where you feel comfortable to begin addressing your concerns. I then work to begin to understand the nature of your concern and how it is impacting you on a day to day basis. The way in which I interact and listen is  dependent upon the nature of session (individual or couples) and the presenting concern. I work with individuals, families, and couples. I also offer pre-marital counseling. I work with adults and adolescents.
