Using a person-centered approach to therapy, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating by providing individualized services based upon your specific needs and concerns. While we can’t change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to understand and resolve the current challenges in your life. By engaging in therapeutic approaches and techniques together, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

If you’re looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you’re just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.  Please call or email for a session today.

As an approved clinical supervisor (ACS) I believe that supervision is a crucial part for a counselor’s development. Supervision is a way to ensure the application of knowledge gained through coursework is applied clients in the field.  The process of reflection, growth, and change is continuous; therefore, clinical supervision is a necessary component to guide the reflection, facilitate the growth, and provide support and guidance in ethically challenging and emotionally charging cases to create change.  Furthermore, supervision is a process that encourages self-care throughout the counselor’s journey.

My approach to supervision will involve an emphasis on meeting your needs as a supervisee and ultimately your client’s needs.  In doing so, I utilize a wellness approach to supervision. To provide the best care for clients, supervisee’s must ensure they are well.  In addition, I will utilize the integrated developmental model of supervision to ensure competence in various domains of professional functioning.  Within this model of supervision, I will be assessing your motivation, autonomy, and awareness across different levels of development.  Ultimately, the goal of supervision will always be on the supervisee’s development to ensure quality care of the clients.
