It takes courage to seek assistance when facing life challenges. Asking for help is one of the most important steps to creating a path for change that can lead to a more fulfilling and more meaningful life. Together, we can work to achieve goals and create strength-based coping skills to employ when things are hard. I want to know that commitment and persistence will pay off with growth and behavior changes. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
My life has been influenced by a number of selfless givers. I strongly believe that “to whom much has been given, much more will be required” and I have long attempted to fulfill that statement. I am grateful for the opportunities that I have had to give and serve those who have life challenges. Every single person encounters difficulties that can be looked at as a challenge to overcome, or as a challenge that is insurmountable. I choose to live a purposeful life of growth and empowerment and I believe that choosing to live purposefully allows one to thrive and overcome life’s challenges, not merely survive or exist. Whatever your struggles, you do not need to face them alone. I would love to partner with you in your growth journey.
