PHILOSOPHY
I believe the counseling process requires a trusting relationship between the counselor and the client. We will discuss thoughts, feelings and future goals. This process may be both emotional and challenging, however, it will also be rewarding in gaining a new opportunity to better know yourself. We will work as a team to explore life's present difficulties and work towards an improved life together.
Therapy can serve as an opportunity to foster growth, self-acceptance, reflection and a means of coping. My empathetic approach to therapy will highlight your strengths, preferences, and needs. The length of counseling varies within each client and may require a level of patience and trust in the therapeutic process. Sometimes, taking this first step may be the hardest part.
