Counseling serves many purposes. It's a safe place to process current and past events. It's an opportunity to learn new skills that will help you cope with distressing emotions or to function better in relationships and other important areas of your life. It's a place to make sense of things and to find meaning and value in life. In short, it is designed to make your life better.
I have experience working with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, obsessive thoughts, behavior issues, family or relationship problems and trauma. The therapeutic approaches I use are grounded in what research shows is effective, but it is also unique to you, your circumstances, experiences and values.
Effective counseling is based on a partnership between the therapist and the client. We will establish goals based on what is important to you and work together to accomplish those goals. I believe that everyone deserves to live their best life and will work with you to figure out what your best life looks like, and how to get there.
