” Change alone is eternal, perpetual, immortal ” -Arthur Schopenhauer
I am a graduate of Argosy University with an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and presently working on my Doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision. I provide individual and group therapy; including school-aged children, adolescents, and adults. I use a holistic approach and an integrative style with each person to create a partnership in a safe and collaborative environment; exploring past and current events. I have experience working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and ages. I believe that each person has different paths and struggles throughout life and through these; an opportunity for personal growth is created. My goal is to provide the best care for each person as we share the sacred process of counseling.
Therapy is an endeavor that is not entered into lightly, it is a sacred and collaborative journey that requires commitment and endurance. It is my goal to provide the best service, working together to develop and initiate an individualized treatment plan with goals that suit your therapeutic needs.
In the initial session, an intake interview will be conducted to establish what your needs are. At the time of the initial session there will be paperwork to review and sign. If you wish, I can have it mailed or faxed to you prior to our first appointment. During this session, we will discuss your rights as a client, confidentiality, what happens to the information you provide, and what the cost of therapy will be. The initial session is really to establish these basics, in addition to getting to know each other to see if this is the best fit.

Expectations
People seek counseling for many different reasons: a crisis, a loss, a major life change, to sort things out, to improve their quality of life, or to improve relationships. Counseling begins with an initial meeting to gather information and history in order to develop a plan to meet each individual’s needs. The number of sessions vary and differ from person to person depending on, but not limited to, the goals for therapy, the severity of the issues encountered, and of course, the client’s willingness to actively participate.
All of our conversations are completely confidential (except when otherwise mandated by law, as in the case of child abuse, abuse of elderly persons, or imminent danger to yourself or others).
” When we are no longer able to change a situation- we are challenged to change ourselves ”
-Viktor Frankl
