About Me

My Counseling Philosophy and Approach
I work with families, couples, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in treating anxiety, stress, depression, family conflict, relationship issues, anger/impulse control, personal growth/self esteem, and career concerns & work related-stress. I have been extensively trained in the areas of work trauma and workplace bullying. This is a unique aspect of my practice and a rare specialty in the field of professional counseling.

I believe when people seek counseling, it is because they want to make a change in their lives. They may want to improve a life situation, solve a particular problem, make a decision, or achieve a greater understanding of their circumstances.

I employ counseling techniques from a variety of theoretical orientations, based on the individual needs of my clients. Frequently, I adopt cognitive behavioral, family systems, strengths-based, and solution-focused approaches, while striving to incorporate elements of person-centered, humanistic therapies. I also believe in the healing qualities of nature and wilderness, sometimes integrating outdoor experiences into the therapy process.

Initially, I ask clients to explore feelings and concerns, as well as identify desired areas of change. Once the client and I establish an understanding of the situation, we work together to achieve mutually agreed upon goals.

I believe that effective counseling requires a commitment of time, energy, and active participation by all parties involved. Activities associated with the counseling process may occur during and between scheduled sessions.
