My Approach to Helping
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor working in the field with all ages and couples for the last 7 years, teens exclusively for 2 years before that. I have worked with clients who suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual identity issues, and addiction. There is not a population of people I feel uncomfortable working with.
My therapeutic approach is warm and non-judgmental. My goal as a therapist is to help you meet your goals while becoming obsolete. I want you to be able to live your life as freely as possible and no longer have a need for me. I use a combination of solution-focused therapy, cognitive therapy, and humanistic therapy.
I am trained in EMDR, which has been an instrumental tool in working with individuals suffering from trauma such as loss of a loved one or rape.
If EMDR does not work for you, there are many other types of therapy we can try. I would describe my counseling style as non-judgmental, genuine, warm, and solution-focused. I will help you get to wherever you need to go, whether that's a better sense of self, better work ethic, or lower depressive or anxious levels. I am also here if you just need an unbiased 3rd party to listen to your issues in a confidential setting.
