ABOUT COUNSELING
Your views and values are understood, perspectives are explored, and healthy coping alternatives are given. New skills will be taught and modeled. However, responsibility for making changes is left in your hands, as is the credit for the change. Your competence and control will not be undermined but enhanced. Counseling is temporary, yet powerful. It is caring, yet objective. Counseling is an experience in honesty, openness and courage.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Information is kept strictly confidential. Information is shared only with a person’s written permission. Exceptions to confidentiality are rare and include when a person poses a threat to his/ her own safety or the safety of someone else or when it is ordered by the court.

My role as a therapist is to help facilitate a healing moment. As a psychotherapist, I believe in assisting clients to better their relationship with others, to un- derstand and achieve a life that is meaningful and fulfilling. At times we react to life’s adversities with fear and anger, burying our joy and hope. Through therapeutic support, I help my clients learn to recognize healthy ways to react to life’s trials and take control in order to move forward and seek self-actualization and gratification. My job is to help you feel comfortable and able to talk about any topic that is important to you and then guide you in finding solutions or provide you with strategies to try to get your life back on track. Sharing fears and concerns with a trained professional actually helps to reduce pain and increase your understanding of the issues
