My journey of helping people started when I was a middle school and high school teacher. While working closely with children I learned about the emotional and developmental issues that they deal with and how it can leave a lasting effect into adulthood if they do not receive help. As a counselor, I use my knowledge, skills, and empathy to help adults and children deal with what they are struggling with and help them increase their control of their lives. I look at each individual as their own person who needs individualistic care. Additionally, I incorporate the values and beliefs of my clients to create the most helpful counseling
I believe that people heal through connection and relationships. I am passionate about helping clients work towards overall wellness. While using Person-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I incorporate a therapeutic bond with clients to help them heal.
I strive to be present in each session with you and I believe in empowering you to take control of your life. Each client is different and has diverse needs, therefore the approach I use for each client is unique to them. Meeting clients where they are and helping them achieve their personal goals is an essential part of healing.
