Integrated Self Counselor

I focus on adolescents and adults, using a person-centered approach to help my clients adapt patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting to face their challenges from a place of strength. Many things in our lives can lead us to reach out when we feel the need for support or help working through challenges. Many of my clients work on trauma and pain they have carried for a long time. I help my clients reorganize patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting in order to adapt to their present reality and release 'old stuff.' I practice from a strengths-based, person-centered approach, collaborating to work toward my clients' growth and healing. I emphasize resilience, self-leadership, and compassion. The familiar ways of dealing with life's challenges may no longer be working, but together we can tap into your natural ability to adapt and change. I welcome clients from a variety of ages and stages, though I particularly focus on older adolescents, young adults, and adults. My 'home base' is a person-centered approach, though I make frequent use of Cognitive-Behavioral techniques. I am credentialed for EMDR, an evidence-based practice to heal from trauma, and use it when appropriate.
