Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

It is my belief that change begins when there is a trusting, and respectful relationship established between counselor and client. Change and growth continues as clients realize that they have choices and freedom, but through this freedom comes responsibility and ownership. Understanding the role a person plays in their own life, taking ownership of past and present choices, as well as continuing to seek to live in a more harmonious manner allows for healing, restoration, and growth.

 

More Info About My Practice

Seeking counseling is not just for those who struggle with depression, anxiety, anger, etc...it is also for those who are wanting more from themselves and their life. Finding the right counselor, one who looks at all sides of a person, is crucial. I have always felt very privileged to be able to work along side those who desire more form life. I offer a very reasonable rate of $80 per 50 minute session. However, I realize that there is not always room in the budget for counseling, which is why I offer a sliding scale to fit the needs of most anybody.

 

On the Fence About Going to Therapy?

For those who are "on the fence" about beginning therapy I would say, you are in a very healthy place. Beginning therapy can be very scary and overwhelming. While the fear of the unknown is natural, one should remind themselves of why it is they are seeking counseling to begin with. Counseling offers people a fresh perspective from an unbiased source; one who is trained in many different therapeutic areas, but most importantly to listen, clarify, and work towards an individuals therapeutic goals in a non-judgmental environment.
