Awareness and Knowledge
I have had the privilege of helping clients who reach out to me for guidance and mentoring during difficult times in their lives. and have served them to the best of my ability for over 25 years. I bring my passion, knowledge and training with me in my work and am committed to each and every client I see. I will always encourage personal growth and self exploration with the hope of fostering a better and brighter way of living for YOU.
Insight and Change
Counseling and therapy is grounded in a strong alliance between myself and YOU (my client) and based on "unconditional positive regard," respect, and empathy. Actively listening to your story, your thoughts, your feelings, your reactions, all with acceptance and validation, are the key and the essential building blocks to the work you will engage in while in counseling . That work, will lead YOU to a better self perception, which will in turn lead you to take the active steps necessary for growth, development and empowerment.
"If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can't survive"
