Clients come into counseling for many reasons. Those who have not had the opportunity to attend counseling previously may feel anxious. "Here I am meeting a stranger to tell them my life." "I'm not sure what I'm supposed to say. Do I have to tell everything?" "I'm not sure why I feel so bad." "Why do these thoughts keep going around in my head?"
As your therapist, my job is to help you answer these questions and many more. This is a No Judgement Zone. I strive to hold a safe space for clients to unburden themselves. Along with CBT, I utilize EMDR to help people move through the memories and behaviors that keep them stuck. I use a person-centered approach with unconditional regard.
