Treatment Approach/Philosophy: My theoretical orientation follows the person-centered approach to counseling, which recognizes the potential of clients to determine their own best treatment.  I believe that a collaborative effort between counselor and client will lead to the most beneficial outcome and that a strong, professional relationship, built on mutual respect between client and counselor, provides the best setting for working toward personal goals.  My approach is based on my belief that we all have the capacity to improve our own well-being and that counseling can often be a catalyst toward change.  My hope and intention are to work with you to define your counseling goals and to help you discover the best way to achieve those goals.
