About

An important element I bring into counseling is a holistic understanding of you and your system. Through this, we discover dynamic ways to affect the issues in which you desire to see positive and enduring change. Furthermore, I practice a balanced approach. One side of counseling is more hands-on advising that involves practical and effective life skills. On the other side, counselors are neutral collaborators that facilitate self-exploration, depth, and healing. Through scholarly research and personal practice, I strive to bring both elements into my counseling relationships to achieve quick and lasting systemic change.

While I have experience and enjoy working with all kinds of people, I particularly specialize in working with adolescents/young adults and their family systems. Through my training, experiences, and personal abilities I can meaningfully connect and communicate with the often very different members of a family system.

To me, the most important factor in a client is motivation. Accessibility to counseling, therapeutic relationship, and motivation are important factors associated with positive outcomes in counseling. If you are motivated to grow, give me a call and I will do my best to take care of the other factors.
