Philosophy and Approach
I believe that individuals
inherently desire to create and maintain healthy relationships with
others; however, many individuals need guidance and perception in
order for them to accomplish healthy boundaries, emotional
regulation and understanding of themselves and others. I also
believe that ultimately, people desire to create changes in their
lives that brings them a positive life experience (for example goal
setting, academic or work performance, friendships, relationships
with family members, etc) rather than a negative life experience.
Again, often times, individuals require guidance on creating those
changes. That is why I became a counselor. My goal is to assist
others in creating healthy relationships with themselves and others
as well as creating positive change in their lives.
My approach to counseling
utilizes the Family Systems Model and implementing
Cognitive-Behavioral techniques. From my perspective, you need
to understand where an individual has come from, what their supports
are or are not and how they relate to others in their family. In
addition, it is my experience that often times individuals have
thinking errors related to many different experiences or
interactions that can create stress or anxiety for them. In
incorporating the cognitive-behavioral techniques, it helps
individuals understand their thought processes and how they may lead
to positive or negative behaviors or outcomes. From that
understanding comes identifying ways the individual can change their
thinking process and subsequently their behaviors to work toward
positive outcomes.
Formal
Education
and Training
I hold a
Masters Degree in Counseling and Human Services from the
University of Idaho. My course work included training in
individual and group work. Within my Masters level experience, I
have worked as a School Counselor, Mental Health Counselor and as an
adoption caseworker. As a counselor I have worked with children,
families and adults in areas such as anxiety, depression, life
changes, conflict resolution, adoption preparation and adoption
issues, childhood behavior concerns and many others. I have a
Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Idaho in Child
Development and Family relations, with an emphasis in Special
Education. During my undergraduate work, I served at-risk children
and their families as well as children, teens and adults with
disabilities.

to participate in annual continuing education, taking classes
