About Counseling

How Can I Help? 

Individual Counseling

Successful counseling is defined by the positive and collaborative alliance between counselor and client. In one-on-one counseling sessions, I will help clients reframe perceptions and encourage them to utilize valuable tools to cope with life’s challenges. 

Consulting

Interested in learning how to train a therapy animal? I consult with students, fellow counseling professionals, and veterinary practitioners to teach the ethical way to train animals. For more information on how or if consultation with me would be helpful, please contact me. 

Group Therapy 

I specialize in grief groups. For clients struggling to cope with the loss of a loved one, this group may be a good fit. Group counseling offers support and through sharing, healing can be found. Prior to the start of each closed group, participants are screened by me to ensure emotional safety and cohesiveness. 

As a mental health clinician, I specialize in working with adults and adolescents dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. My foundational approach to client-care is Person-Centered Theory, integrated with various evidence-based interventions to address individual needs.

In utilizing an integrative approach to counseling, coupled with evidence-based interventions, I am able to address each client’s presenting problem by using various tools. I can assess what types of interventions are best suited for each client and pull from my knowledge of different cognitive, behavioral, existential, and psychoanalytic techniques. 

I believe everyone is capable of change and that change happens in different ways, and at a different pace for everyone. Collaborating with a counselor can help clients succeed in finding specific coping mechanisms to manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in real-world settings.
