It is uncommon for people to willingly seek therapy. Misinformation, fear of stigma, prejudices abound. How unfortunate! By the time someone reaches out it is often because they are at a point of desperation; this is when the work begins. My philosophy & approach have been formed through many years of working as a clinical social worker. Though trained in the psychodynamic approach, I am eclectic in my approach & attuned to client needs. There is a saying that “only the brave go to therapy.” In reaching out to begin the therapy process, one is choosing to become conscious, to face what is not working in one’s life, & to change. In our work together we explore you and your life. We will find what is working for you and what is not. Together we will look into the factors that influenced the person you are today in the place you are at in this present moment. We will uncover your current beliefs about yourself, others, & your view of how the world works in order to create change. EMPOWER. GROW. THRIVE! THRIVE COUNSELING & WELLNESS is a team of professional mental health providers dedicated to providing quality, effective, evidence-based counseling services in a respectful & culturally sensitive setting.
