My Approach

Counseling

I believe that every client has the capacity to change and heal. Through the use of evidence-based interventions, I meet the individual, couple, or family where they are in their journey. I use a holistic approach integrated with progressive treatments including but not limited to cognitive behavior, therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma focused therapies, play therapy, and sand tray therapy.

​

Teaching

My approach to teaching is similar to my counseling style in that I believe every student has the ability to learn and integrate information into their personal and professional lives. Students should be given the freedom to challenge ideas and information so to increase critical thinking. I employ multiple instructional strategies in order to effectively deliver subject matter and to attempt to meet different learning styles and needs. I build relationships with students through approachability and encouragement. Relationships and classroom structure optimize the learning experience.
