I value safety, a person\u2019s right to self-determination, and that we all have strengths. I incorporate these values into sessions by creating a safe space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a non-judgmental atmosphere. I take a client-centered approach when working with people. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and I am a guide to assist you in obtaining the goals you desire. While we all have things we can work on, I focus on your strengths and how these strengths have helped you get through life this far.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ disabled_on=”on|off|off” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#E7E7E8″ custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”136px||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”136px||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”50px||50px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”0px|120px||60px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”0px|120px||60px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”|30px||30px|false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
