MY PHILOSOPHY

Counseling is a tool one uses to identify personal shortcomings as well as gaining insight into one’s self-exploration. My approach to counseling begins with establishing a working collaboration with the client. As a therapist, I believe it is my responsibility to demonstrate to each client that they are in a safe, trusting, environment, and to help them understand why they are having difficulties. Counseling encompasses adhering to ethics established in the profession and not interjecting my personal beliefs and values into the therapeutic process. Most importantly, letting clients know and feel they are the most important aspect of any process is a must. My goal is to empower clients, providing them with confidence that they can overcome any challenge in the future.
