About Raft COunseling…

Philosophy

I believe that people are inherently good, but reach hurdles that are life stressors such as relationship struggles, mental health issues, environmental/societal expectations, etc. Life is tough, but we are capable of culminating strength for change and growth.

 

Clinical Practice

Using a humanistic person-centered and relational approach, I believe that the client is the expert of their own life and provide unconditional positive regard. With a directive approach, I aim to aid clients in learning skills to help be the best and happiest versions of themselves. I utilize interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapies (ACT), and Gottman Counseling. However, each approach is tailored to the individual client, to ensure the most success.

My Style

I like to bring my humanness into the counseling space to create an engaging, comfortable, supportive and sometimes humorous atmosphere. I appreciate working with highly motivated individuals and couples to create peace and healing in their lives.
