About
Welcome to my profile! I am honored to take this moment to share a bit about my counseling approach and philosophy of helping. I believe that individuals have within themselves the power and tools to improve the quality of their lives. I am passionate about providing a welcoming place to assist individuals in becoming more aware of what they want and need, the choices they have in life, and their own potential to heal. I view counseling as a collaborative process of building on the strengths and assets of clients and promote these to maximize life satisfaction and healthy living. My work is guided by the values of compassion, collaboration, acceptance, and client autonomy. I focus on guiding clients to live their best lives and acknowledge their own ideas for behavior change. If counseling is successful, you should feel stronger in your ability to face life's challenges and uncover personal strengths. I utilize many techniques in counseling, primarily designed to increase awareness, provide encouragement, challenge faulty cognitive patterns, and clarify and explore goals of behavior. I am an expert in Motivational Interviewing and use this model as one primary intervention. I also provide clinical assessment services at the client's request.
