Counseling Services

Our Approach

I use the approach in counseling which emphasizes responsibility of the individuals natural and logical consequences for behaviors and identifying the patterns people live by. Approaches most often used help clients to: identify problem behaviors/patterns, bring them to a conscious level of awareness, and choose new, different, and more workable replacements. This often results in a cognitive-behavioral approach to problem solving. I have experience in various approaches, including but not limited to: Reality Therapy, Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy, Person-Centered techniques, etc. In both individual and family therapy, I see the overall system of family relationships and social context as important resources for problem solving. Goals for any therapy are always established in collaboration with the client, and the overall objective will always be the resolution of the problem(s) that we have together identified as the most important. I assist clients in organizing their relationships so that resources can be brought to bear on the problems being addressed.
