I have a MEd and PhD in counseling and educational psychology with numerous years of experience in education and mental health. I provide individual, couples and family counseling. I provide person centered counseling which means we work together to help you reach your goals in counseling. The goals are created by you with my assistance. I will provide education on possible paths to reach your goals and provide projected outcomes that may be in line with your desired outcomes. We will discover many of the thoughts behind behaviors and actions and possible different thinking patterns to sustain changed behaviors.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

On the first session there will be introductions and opportunity to ask questions of the counselor. The client will get an opportunity to share more details of the reasons for the counseling sessions and help to isolate specific goals to be accomplished. The counselor will listen intently and make sure the client is feeling heard and seen and their goals for counseling will be addressed.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am a active listener and make sure that I understand the clients concerns and culture. I at times have clients who are first generational American. I want to make sure that I understand the culture of the family and how the family culture is operational in the clients values and goals in their life and future goals.
