My goal is to help people achieve as much out of life as possible. I think many times in life your full potential for happiness gets overshadowed by daily life. When I work with people I try to help them shed the layers of stress that are creating unnecessary weight. I believe that people have the strength within them to better any circumstance. I view my role as a supporting role in that I help people find and pull out the strength they need to get through any situation. When you are provided with a safe, supportive, judgement-free environment, you are able to focus more clearly on your goals and make sustainable progress.

I pull from many different counseling techniques depending on the situation, but I find myself using Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) most often. When working with adolescents, because their communication can often look different than that of an adult, I use a combination of talk therapy and play therapy. I also believe art can lead to great emotional expression so I use techniques of art therapy with both adults and children at times.
