I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who is of Christian faith. I serve all people and remain objective to my client's need. I provide a warm, welcoming (and oftentimes comedic) atmosphere to the counseling setting, but we will always be working together to satisfy your need. I would like to be the passenger with the map, but allow you to drive.
During our first session we will begin our counseling relationship. We will get to know each other (so come with questions!), I will do a lot of typing as I am gathering information, and ultimately we will take a walk through what to expect in our time together. There is no set timeline as to when we will transition our relationship, but while we are working together we will check in on our expectations.
My greatest strength is creating an environment that you want to come back to. I am 100% authentic to myself and I allow my personality to be reflected through my approach to tackling your needs. I like to think of it as the space where you have a friend who holds you accountable, helps you get your work done, and doesn't judge you if you make a mistake (or a few!)
I believe there is no "one size fits all" approach to counseling, as such I have seen success in my clients by drawing from modalities such as CBT, REBT, Psychodynamic, & humanistic therapies.
