I have been working in the field of counseling (Substance abuse, family conflict, relationship, and self-esteem) for over 10 years. The goal in any of my individual sessions is for the client to see who they truly are, and to be defined by the purpose they seek. My philosophy in life is that you create the story you want others to see. Choice is a major aspect in every decision made, and the self-awareness of the actions in how your choices affect yourself and those around you. Let me help guide you in understanding behavioral patterns throughout the course of your life. I tell people often therapy is like a person laying on the ground with their arms stretching out. Sixty percent is your choice of stretching your hands out for guidance, and forty percent is me helping you pull yourself off the ground. It is a team effort.
