About

Even after fourteen years of counseling people it still amazes me how different we all are from each other, and at the same time how similar. I enjoy getting to know each of my clients’ unique personality and history while helping them to explore the issue that has brought them to me. One tool that I find helpful in this process is the Enneagram, which is a personality typing system. Using this system allows me to learn about a client’s usual way of handling things very quickly so we can focus more on the immediate issue.

While I generally use a combination of person-centered, cognitive behavioral, humanistic, and psychodynamic approaches, I believe people grow the most in the context of a caring and supportive relationship, so my primary goal is to listen and affirm my clients while also appropriately challenging them to change unhealthy patterns.

If you feel ready for a change, I am excited to help you discover the possibilities ahead of you!
