About
I have over 30 years of experience working with children, adolescents, parents, adults, families and groups in many different roles. My passion is working with adults, adolescents and children and adolescents with substance use issues, anxiety, depression, anger, and defiant behaviors. The relationship between therapist and the individual is one of common choice exploring human needs and goals culminating in the wellness of the person. The individual remains the central priority in the counseling relationship. I utilize a non-directive person-centered approach when working with adults. My belief is that individuals know what they need to do to make improvements in their life, and by taking an active lead, will discover their own solutions. I utilize Play Therapy when working with children, which includes using play as a way to help them work through challenges. The relationship between therapist and the individual is one of common choice exploring human needs and goals culminating in the wellness of the person. Utilizing a non-directive person-centered approach provides a safe and secure environment where individuals can explore strategies to effectively grow and make healthy changes in their lives.
