My Philosophy of Therapy
I believe that every person, couple and family possesses what they need to become whole. Working collaboratively with clients, we'll discover the keys to unlocking hidden strengths. I treat a number of mental health disorders, and provide a neutral ground to facilitate healing.
My Treatment Focus
My Philosophy of Therapy
My Philosophy of Therapy
My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. Working together with clients, we achieve this by creating a neutral safe space following Carl Rogers' basic tenets of therapeutic presence and customizing a treatment plan.
My Commitment To Clients
My Philosophy of Therapy
My Commitment To Clients
Once we begin the healing journey together, all struggles will be empathically explored. Sometimes challenges require the inclusion of additional resources. When both therapist and client agree, the healing team is expanded to include the resources tailored to facilitate the most benefits to each client.
Carl Rogers' Basic Tenets of Therapeutic Presence
Accurate Empathy
Therapists provide empathy that allows clients to retain their individual responsibility. Therapists encourage client identity while offering healthy support . From this perspective, the therapist is able to remain an objective third party.
Unconditional Positive Regard
Therapist provides positive regard for the client regardless of the client's mood, challenges, and attitudes. Therapist's unconditional support of the client allows a deepened sense of trust in the therapeutic process.
Nonjudgemental Listening
Therapist listens with genuine openness to the client. Without judgement, therapist hears the client's heart in the spoken words and unspoken mannerisms.
Congruence
Therapist offers genuine presence within therapeutic parameters. Therapist is genuinely herself while offering limited self-disclosure . Clients experience therapist consistently in all sessions.
Rogers' Philosophy in His Words
The way of being with another person which is termed empathic has several facets. It
means entering the private, perceptual world of the other and becoming thoroughly at
home in it. It involves being sensitive, moment to moment, to the changing felt meanings
which flow in the other person, to the fear or rage or tenderness or confusion or whatever,
that he/she is experiencing. It means temporarily living his/her life, moving about in
it delicately without making judgments, sensing meanings of which he/she is scarcely
aware, but not trying to uncover feelings of which the person is totally unaware, since
this would be too threatening (Rogers, 1980, A Way of Being, p. 142).

Many times life brings difficulty that clouds individual clarity. Symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances can further hinder one's ability to reach their full potential.Through counseling and treatment, we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.

Being part of a therapeutic group provides clients a sense of connection that diminishes the isolation fear, depression, childhood experiences and anxiety create. I offer group therapy experiences for managing the challenges of anxiety and for managing the impacts of dysfunctional childhood homes. Please contact me for the current schedule for both of these groups. New Coping With Anxiety Group begins April 16, 2020.

HIPPA Compliant Video Sessions
Relationship counseling can be beneficial to couples and families who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship. Couples Therapy sessions are held with both partners. Family therapy is provided for all family members and content material is age appropriate for all children involved. Therapist often chooses to meet periodically with only parents and only children to gain increased insight into the challenges facing the family.
