My Approach to Helping
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience in mental health counseling. Within my years of working in mental health, I have learned that building a good therapeutic relationship is the foundation for all of the work that I do with my clients. I take an active, collaborative, and supportive approach to treat the different needs presented by clients. I use my knowledge in evidence-based approaches to guide sessions and my clients' needs dictate the specific approaches I employ. It is important for us to have a collaborative and positive working relationship, however, it is also important that the treatment approach fits the client and their presenting concerns. Creating a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment starts with the first phone call. During this call, I will take the time to understand you and the reason(s) you are seeking therapy.
