I operate from an eclectic framework of counseling interventions, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, reality therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and family systems therapy. I view each client as complex, unique, and autonomous. As a therapist, I strive to journey with you in your story, support you in who you hope to be, and assist you in achieving your personal goals. I view people as biological, social, emotional, and spiritual beings. This means that I often will challenge you to consider a holistic approach as you explore how your thoughts and feelings might contribute to your daily interactions, behaviors, and vice versa.  Together we navigate through your story, and explore the feelings tied to critical events that you have experienced along the way. I promise there will be no lengthy pity parties however, I believe that often in order to move forward, we need to look back and explore our stories. We might also need to pay special attention to the present relationships, exploring current thoughts and behaviors. The ways we think and behave are oftentimes a window into an opportunity to heal.
