Approach to Counseling

When working with clients, I practice a prescriptive approach, integrating directive and non-directive methods.

What are directive methods? I play an active role in our work by guiding you, challenging you when appropriate, offering advice and recommendations, and always supporting you in a safe and welcoming environment.

What are non-directive methods? I am following your lead. I think this method is best described in this way “metaphorically, the therapist is walking alongside the client—sometimes a few paces behind, sometimes a few paces ahead, sometimes stopping to discuss where to go next, but always going wherever the client goes. The therapist never chooses the direction” (Stephen Joseph, Psychology Today)

As a counselor, I believe growth takes place in a space that is warm, welcoming, and recognizes where you are in in your own journey. I offer counseling services to adults, adolescents, and children.

Adults

Growth. Heal. Well-being.

Adolescents

Safe. Authentic. Non-judgemental.

Children

Play. Explore. Learn.
