I am a mental health counselor with over 3 years of experience in counseling. I have worked a lot with depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, ODD, OCD, anger, and schizophrenia. I provide talk therapy from an existential perspective. I provide most of my client with short term outpatient mental health counseling 1-4 times monthly. I have experience with all age groups and currently am seeing clients from age 5 to 75. Therapy often includes homework assignments. I work to make my clients feel as comfortable as they can so they can share their thoughts and feelings with me without fear of judgement. The counseling relationship involves the sharing of concerns, feelings, aspirations and personal stories with a skilled professional that help guide the client to process and explore alternative solutions about a particular issue. Counseling is an interpersonal psychotherapeutic practice guided by legal and ethical standards. It provides individuals, couples and families with assessment, evaluation, diagnosis, psychoeducation, and guidance to develop goals and implement a counseling plan. It is my responsibility to my clients to provide them with a trusting, respectful, compassionate, safe environment for self-exploration that is free of judgment. I come from an existential perspective. I believe in highlighting capacities and encouraging people to take responsibility for their own successes.
