Sage Owl Therapy, LLC

Philosophy and Approach to Counseling:
I believe that people hold the keys to a healthy emotional balance within themselves.
By joining with the client in seeking emotional, physical, and spiritual health, an empowering environment develops.
As I recognize and honor client strengths and resources, clients develop a means through which to address
their issues and facilitate change. My goal as a counselor is to help clients identify personal needs,
understand conflicts discover new options, and make informed choices.
My approach to counseling is integrative with the utilization of a number of techniques to explore client concerns including; cognitive-behavioral philosophy (exploring one’s thoughts and beliefs),that incorporates client-centered techniques (allowing the client to set the pace and topics of each session). Expressions in Sandtray (EIS) or Sandplay therapy and art are creative intervention techniques, which may be very beneficial for us to use; they can enrich our therapeutic work and allow us to go to core issues in a safe, creative, and productive way. I'm one that can walk along side you through deeper issues to help retrieve the "sword from your heart".
I spend the first session getting to know you and providing a comprehensive assessment so we
can come up with an individualized treatment plan just for you. I work with children and adults with anxiety and depression and specialize in working with high functioning Autism individuals- formerly Asperger's Syndrome. I provide testing for Autism for children and adults and emotional-behavioral testing for children.
