Therapist Overview
The general goals for the client are that they can identify the issues, develop a plan of action, and then implement that plan. This is a very personal process. It is educational and developmental by nature. Cures are not immediate, pain-free, or instant by nature, but may require diligent effort and candid exploration. This exploration often involves experiencing ‘unpleasant’ feelings as part of the counseling process within and outside of scheduled sessions. These feelings may include but are not limited to: Anger, guilt, sadness, anxiety, or confusion. As a counselor, I uphold a humanistic and eclectic approach to helping clients reach self-determined goals throughout time. I believe every human has the capability, through strengths within themselves, to pursue personal growth and attain insight into a life that is functional for them. I provide genuine empathy, compassion, and encourage transparency. My theoretical approach is eclectic, meaning I formulate my approach based on several theories and what I believe will best serve the client in their unique circumstance. I pay special attention to and affirm with marginalized communities in Cleveland experiencing tribulations as a result of economic, political, environmental, and social oppression.
