INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING

I am convinced counseling can be one of the most rewarding and restorative life experiences for clients. 

Counseling will begin with an initial assessment. This will allow us to determine together the likely course and frequency of counseling. Sessions are around 55 minutes in length. 

My approach to counseling is straightforward and involves the use of expanding insight, coping skills training, mindfulness and genuine caring. Below is a list of some of the techniques used in counseling to facilitate the therapeutic process. 

• active listening
• building trust
• effective questioning
• providing clear information
  
• pointing out discrepancies
• creating genograms
• completing thought records
• bibliotherapy

My therapeutic approach is integrated and therapeutic methods are tailored to the needs presented by the client.  

MARRIAGE AND FAMILY COUNSELING

Our marital and familial relationships are the places we expect to experience the most love, support, and security. However, when these relationships are disjointed and hurtful, it can negatively affect many areas of our lives. 

Marriage

I provide hope for couples who want to grow closer together. Whether you want a strong foundation for your upcoming marriage or you have been married for many years and are losing ground in your relationship, counseling can help provide a safe place to find common ground. 

Together, we can work toward better communication, compassion for one another, more intimacy, healing from broken trust, and just good ole lighthearted fun as a couple. 

Family

Family holds such high value for so many of us. We want our families to be defined by reciprocal love and respect. When the harmony of family is disrupted we can feel deeply grieved and dejected. 

Honesty, humility, and genuine love are powerful sources of healing in relationships. I can help facilitate a safe space to process the patterns that are not working within a family and re-establish a new normal where all members feel more valued and loved. 

SUPERVISION 

I enjoy providing supervision almost as much as providing counseling. I find it extremely rewarding to work with supervisees as they excel in providing clinical services to their clients. 

I provide both individual and group supervision. 

My approach involves collaborative problem solving, supportive exploration of transference and countertransference, and a constant review of relevant ethical principles. I value and elicit regular open communication regarding the supervisee's changing needs and their satisfaction with the supervision experience.
