I believe that individuals hold the key to solving life’s issues but sometimes need the assistance of others to help pull out those strengths and provide support along the way; I have a passion for supporting clients on this journey of self-awareness and growth. I firmly believe that we do not have to face life alone and that seeking help is a sign of strength, showing one’s desire to make a change. Not only is this a strength but it also supports the movement towards breaking down the stigma that exists around seeing a counselor. As a therapeutic presence can be the most beneficial healing tool, I strive to be just that for clients
It is in my therapeutic nature to provide clients with empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness. My counseling style takes into consideration the individual differences and developmental stage of each client. My approach is often eclectic, as it is important for me to match a treatment plan with the specific client as closely as possible.
L & B Counseling is breaking the stigma of counseling with an outside the box approach. We bring the office outside and engage with clients using creative activities. We are outdoors-oriented, but we do offer in-office and virtual appointments. We have multiple therapists, so if you prefer someone else, we have you covered. (Rocky Mt - Virtual only)
