About
I have worked with children, teens, and families for the past sixteen years, first in an educational capacity and then in counseling and mentorship. While in graduate school for counseling, coursework has included family systems, marital conflict, crisis, career, human sexuality, and addictive behaviors. My practicum has involved domestic violence and sexual assault victims and perpetrators. My internship has included a very diverse population and a variety of concerns, but I have developed my focus toward teenagers, families, and couples. My passion is to help teens and families achieve their potential and live from a perspective of optimal holistic wellness. My orientation is existential and cognitive-behavioral therapy. In an atmosphere of unconditional positive regard, cognitive-behavioral therapy allows you to see that you can have control. Existentialism allows us to address the big questions. Integrated techniques from play therapy, reality therapy, and family systems may be tailored to individuals. Animal-assisted therapy and movement therapy are additional tools available if the technique is in the best interest of the client. Additionally, I operate from a biblical worldview, which may influence other areas of my life, including my skills and actions as a counselor.
