Work with me

let's explore together

Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass.

It’s about learning how to dance in the rain.

I founded Iter Counseling with the goal of assisting our adolescents, young adults, and adults to continually support and encourage them. In using my creative talents, active listening skills and developing expertise, we will work together to create goals to solve issues that brought them to me. I want my clients to feel safe opening up to me and expressing their true feelings. I want to instill trust in each other.

ways to work with me

iter | INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING

I utilize a variety of techniques, including Solution-Focused Therapy, Reality/ Choice Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, stress management, increasing self-worth, inner work, assertive training, mood management, anxiety reduction, and empowerment. I incorporate meditation by connecting the mind and body to promote balance.

iter | SMALL GROUP COUNSELING

Groups are a great way for individuals to discover that they are no alone in the difficulties that may be facing. Confidentiality rules are critical to the developments of a safe, respectful and trusting atmosphere which allows individuals to openly share their feelings. Under my skilled direction as a facilitator the group can give support, offer alternatives, and gently confront an individual. In this way, the difficulty is resolved, alternative behaviors are learned, and the individuals develop new social skills or ways of relating to people.

Groups will be formed and notified to clients if interested.

HOW WE WORK - AKA THE PROCESS

LET'S START THE CONVERSATION

If you have a child who is struggling or you may be struggling, I am here to help.

I offer individual and group services to meet your needs.

FIRST STEP

The process begins with a meeting with the child's legal guardians. I am interested in hearing more about what your child is struggling with and coming up with a theraputic plan for your family.

I KEEP YOU FOCUSED AND ON TRACK

Using the treatment that will be the best fit for your child, I can help them learn to identify and manage problematic thoughts, identify and experience emotions in a healthy way, build and maintain effective relationships with others, and become more mindful of the positive experiences they have in daily life.

CONSIDER ME, YOUR OWN CHEERING SQUAD

During sessions, I will help you and your child identify the challenges they are currently facing as well as goals for treatment. Your child and I will collaboratively define specific goals they would like to work towards.

Please contact me today.
