My philosophy of counseling is based on principles of mutual respect, honesty, collaboration, and genuineness. I believe helping persons feel better and do better is a holistic process. My approach as a clinician is to focus on the entire person-mind, body and spirit. I practice from a cognitive-behavioral foundation which is profoundly influenced by bio-psychosocial principles. I also work comfortably from a solution-focused perspective when using it appropriately meets the needs of my client.

In counseling sessions, the entire person-physical, social, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, and occupational health are explored to help illicit growth and positive change.
