Purpose and Nature

Counseling is a professional relationship developed between a trained therapist and a client. It helps to create changes in behavior, thinking, attitudes and feelings that have prevented the client from reaching his/her potential and enjoying life. Counseling presents an atmosphere where sensitive, personal and private information is shared, and this may sometimes produce anxiety and/or confusion. Making a decision to receive counseling from a therapist does not guarantee success or progress. In addition, counseling is NOT a process where the therapist tells the client what to do or decides choices for the client to make. Rather, it is an opportunity for the client to come to a greater understanding of the person that he or she is with the help of the therapist.

I provide services in a confidential, comfortable, and supportive atmosphere. Services are personalized to each client’s individual need to help achieve personal goals and gain greater insight into their lives.
