I believe that people have primary accountability for their own lives, and that within each of us is the power and capacity to make choices that will lead to happiness and fulfillment. However, sometimes there are obstacles that must first be overcome (for example, anger, depression, trauma, anxiety, sexual identity issues, relationship problems, etc.) to be able to make healthy choices. I assist my clients along their journey of self-discovery as they learn how to empower themselves to overcome their obstacles. They then are able to make choices that will lead them to the life they want to have. I often utilize a therapeutic approach designed to help clients understand the correlation between their thoughts and feelings, and to learn to "re-think" and perceive situations differently. However, different people respond to different approaches, and I tailor my style to match the individual needs of each client. I chose the name Alliance Counseling Services to reflect the great importance that I place upon developing a therapeutic relationship, or an alliance, with my clients. With this alliance, we work together toward making your goals realities, and getting you on the path to where you want to be.
