My Approach to Helping

My belief is that people seek counseling upon realizing that they want to improve their quality of life. While I recognize that environment (e.g. people, situations, and events) influences who we are, I strongly believe that our thoughts ultimately shape our emotions and behaviors. I also believe that we can change the way we think to feel/act more effectively, even when our environment does not change.
I envision our relationship to be one of discovery of old, ineffective behaviors, which can be difficult. I will support you through this journey with empathic listening, unconditional positive regard, and validation. I will educate you to the best of my abilities. Furthermore, I believe in setting clear, specific, achievable goals. If, at any time, these goals become unclear, we will revisit them to clarify.
I cannot guarantee that the services I offer will help you. It is my responsibility to provide services to the best of my abilities and above all, do no harm.
