 Counseling via Telehealth

I provide individual, couple, family, and group counseling to children, adolescents, and adults.  I see clients of all ages and backgrounds. I work with people who experience social, emotional, or behavioral difficulties that may relate to disturbances in the self, interpersonal relationships, trauma, childhood and adolescence, marriage and couple concerns, family dynamics, spirituality, parental concerns, child-parent-family issues, and life transitions. Additional specialized training in play therapy allows me to work with children and adolescents experiencing life difficulties and training in telehealth allows me to see clients through videoconferencing.    

​

As a clinical mental health counselor, my goal is to help people overcome life challenges that affect their psychological well-being. There are many reasons people seek counseling. Regardless of the reasons, the goal is to help them gain psychological strength, accept personal responsibility, and regain control of their lives. R3 (R-cubed) stands for helping people to restore, replenish, and reestablish themselves at all three levels-the mind, body, and spirit. Thus, my goal is to help people explore, clarify, and identify their needs and make changes in their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to enhance their psychological well-being and renew their mind, body, and spirit. At R3, I am here to listen and help people explore, define, manage, and resolve problem situations, develop goals for an improved life, and work toward realizing those goals.

Counseling Approach

 

Counseling is a process where you and I explore your thought, feeling, and action patterns to better understand your problems and develop solutions. Through this process, I believe an enhanced sense of self, understanding, and acceptance is essential, including how past experiences have shaped the way you view and relate to yourself and others. I create a safe place for you to practice new ways of interacting with others, and, when ready, to try them out in your relationships. My therapeutic approach to counseling stems from a strengths-based perspective where I utilize an integration of dialectical behavioral therapy, choice theory/reality therapy, rationale emotive behavioral therapy, and family systems theory as I believe we all have choices to make in our lives and our past does not have to dictate our future. I believe our thoughts influence the way we feel and how we behave, all of us are interconnected with individuals in our environments, our problems are reflected in our environment, and problems in our environment are reflected in us. Because we live is a system, our communication and behavioral exchanges are circular, in that I react to you just as you react to me. The manner in which we view our environment and experiences are contingent upon our own subjective reality. My major therapeutic techniques are derived from dialectical behavioral therapy, choice theory/reality therapy, rational emotive behavioral therapy, play therapy, and expressive therapies.
​
When utilizing couples therapy, I will listen and help you and your partner explore, define, manage, and resolve problem situations, develop goals for an improved relationship, and work toward realizing those goals. Using the Gottman model of relationship therapy, you will learn how to build friendship in your relationship and express feelings of respect and affection, and learn how to manage conflict and communicate effectively. I will help you identify and address problems or concerns, and help you learn relationship skills needed to get back on track and fulfill your dreams for your relationship.
