Regardless of background, pathway or experiences, as a
counselor, it is my goal to partner and collaborate with each person I work with in finding their way forward.I believe strongly in the strengths of those I engage with and approach all counseling with unconditional positive regard. Mental health is not just something for us to manage when we are struggling, but is anongoing and focused care. I personally count it a privilege to work in the field of counseling and mental health and have a passion for helping those who may find themselves in need of some temporary or long term support. I work with individuals, families and couples/marrieds. In counseling sessions with me, you can expect a collaborative approach in identifying what your goals are in counseling, how best you feel they can be approached and fulfilled, how your own personal values and strengths play into treatment and a transparent and genuine engagement from myself in the process. I
utilize a person centered therapy approach in all sessions, while integrating tools and techniques that are primarily individualized to each client and client need. Mental Health, to me, is not so much a destination as it is an identified way of managing it. I also seek to provide education & empowerment in managing mental health symptoms, improve important relationships and improve an individual's quality of life.
