I enjoy working with people to help them build a strong sense of self, encourage their confidence in relationships, and help foster a sense of calm and security in their everyday life. I enjoy helping parents navigate the many challenges that come our way. I believe people seek therapy for many reasons: adjustment to a new city or life situation, feeling overwhelmed or stuck, or problems with relationships. Counseling is a process that most of us could benefit from time to time at different stages in life, as it brings an outsider's perspective to events, we are faced with in day-to-day life in a nonjudgmental way.
In our first session we'll start with brief introductions, then gather a history to better understand who you are now. This will help me with understanding how your current challenges are affecting you and tailor a plan we can for through in follow-up sessions.
I specialize in children, adolescents, young adults, and families. I have worked with parents in marital conflict and worked also with individuals on issues that ranged from adjustment disorders to post-traumatic stress disorder.
Each person is unique and therefore each time I meet a new client I tailor my treatment methods to fit the client. I like to mix theories if it will help the person rather than continue to do the same thing until it works.
