Bio:
The counseling relationship is a professional, working relationship. Building a successful counseling relationship takes work and dedication from the client as well as the clinician. It is my aim to be able to first establish rapport with you, which will serve as the foundation for us to build from. From there we can begin to work on identifying your present problems as well as defining your goals for counseling. I look forward to working with you!I approach counseling from a Client Centered perspective, in that I believe all clients deserve, and benefit from an atmosphere of unconditional positive regard. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to address patterns of thought and behavior in order to better understand the clients’ problems, as well as strategize solutions that fit for the individual.Please don't hesitate to reach out to me for a free phone consultation. You can also e- mail me with questions, or to see if this style of counseling may be a good fit for you. Just remember, you are not alone, and help is available.
