Associate Counselor

I have experience working with various populations including adults with addictions and other mental health disorders. In addition, I facilitated and co-facilitated group therapy with children, adolescents and adults.

 

My primary approach to counseling is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with a focus on Reality Therapy. I firmly believe that all clients have the ability to change and take control of improving their own lives by learning to make better choices. I will focus on the client’s present needs and their current behavior while addressing their strengths and weakness. I believe that the therapeutic relationship between the client and the therapist is critical to the counseling experience. In essence, my counseling style strives to establish a genuine and empathic relationship with the client while working together to minimize emotional and behavioral disturbances.
