Message to clients

I understand your frustration with the obstacles you are facing. I aim to have every client who has left us with a sense of wholeness and inner healing. Together, we will make a plan that will empower you to succeed. I have years of experience counseling individuals and families like yours. In addition, I have counseled and treated adults, children, and teens with depression, suicidal thoughts, ADHD, autism, mood disorders, ODD, anger management, anxiety, and other emotional and psychological problems.

My treatment methods are client-centered and are geared towards finding what the client desires and assisting the client with reaching those desired outcomes. One way of understanding our lives is understanding the interplay of a biopsychosocial functioning model. Keeping in mind the medical/physical functioning, the psychological/emotional health, and the social relationships of our lives - each constantly interacting with and impacting the other - we look to address concerns in those specific areas and progressively generate improved mental wellness and behavioral functioning.

From our first session and after each session, it is my desire to instill hope in the therapy process - that change is possible and within reach of each individual. I feel that individuals have an internal sense of where they want to be or what they want to be. I genuinely believe therapy can help people grow and develop toward the most cherished ideals.
