he/him

“Counseling can be conceptualized as the act of connecting a person with their solution, or at least an individualized strategy that will work for them, given their unique life experience.

My approach to counseling and rehabilitation is founded on a person-centered appreciation of the individual. Carl Rogers emphasized that the client/therapist relationship is one of equality. It is fostered through a spirit of respect, attentiveness, intuition, and genuine curiosity. It is assumed that through an attitude of nonjudgmental understanding, people are capable of self-directed growth.”
