Capstone Counseling, LLC
My role as a counselor is to be a facilitator. I believe that all families and individuals have within themselves resources and strengths that can promote healthier lives. Some circumstances or crises can exhaust people’s emotional and physical coping resources, necessitating outside assistance. I believe both counselor and client play a vital and equal role in the restorative journey. Within that partnership, a mutual agreement of goals is developed. My approach focuses on helping clients become aware of unhealthy patterns in order for change to occur, promoting a more fulfilling life and loving relationships. This journey may worsen symptoms before improving. Unpacking unresolved conflicts or strained or ruptured relationships can be painful. A discussion with your Primary Care Physician (PCP) may be advisable to rule out a medical issue as the cause. You may feel it beneficial for me to communicate with your PCP. If you so desire, you may sign a written consent form for me to confer with your PCP.

Therapy Sessions: If you arrive late, we will have less time in which to work, and progress may be delayed. I will keep track of time and remind you when the session is about to end.
