Custom counseling focuses on the client and provides each individual with a personalized approach, understanding, and treatment. I feel that until we establish a ‘connection,’ a relationship on which to develop trust and confidence in our work, we will both fail in our collaborative efforts. As a result, I devote as much time as is required to establish a strong rapport and connection. It can take a short period of time to complete therapy with the desired/positive outcomes; other times, it can take a longer period of time. Our sessions aren’t over until both of us are satisfied with our development.

A client’s co-occurring illness, or a combination of mental health and addiction disorders, is common. It is my specialty to work with these kind of people. As a result of my work, I frequently work with adolescents as well as adults, and in certain cases, the family/extended family is involved throughout particular phases of therapy, resulting in a more holistic approach.
