Counseling Background:
My services have included individual, couples, family and group counseling with adults, adolescents, and children. I have worked both in private practice and outpatient mental health agencies. I have five years of post-graduate experience.
Counseling is a process by which we work together to identify and work on any issues you bring to our sessions. My approach to counseling involves helping you to identify strengths within yourself and develop self-awareness. My therapeutic approach is eclectic typically blending Play Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, Reality Therapy, Psycho educational Therapy/Educational Therapy and Strategic Family Therapy. I also may use some expressive arts techniques such as writing, clay, music, or art during our sessions. These therapies are well established, researched, and respected within the profession. You are encouraged to become knowledgeable about goals, methods, and effectiveness.
