It's about making the choice, to take the chance, if you want anything in life to change. I think with the right support, infused with hope, optimism along w/ an edge of realism, I can help people envision the “big” picture. I promote a therapeutic style that embraces the human condition to empower individuals to achieve their ideal self. You can expect to overcome mental health or relational issues that may feel or have felt “incurable." I encourage individuals to explore not only their symptoms/issues but also the underlying emotional/behavioral/spiritual components, where growth is not only possible but sustainable.

Sometimes you just need a safe and open space to talk. Whether your narrative is soul searching for growth, learning effective communication, and/or receiving purposeful psycho-education for life circumstances such as care-giving, an environment of reflective validation and professional support becomes pertinent for therapeutic success, prosperity, and mental wellness. Learning how to navigate through this highly stressful and complicated culture for every age group is easier when not feeling alone. I genuinely believe that we go from "bad" to "better", to "good" to "great" when the objectives of life are reached together.

My approach to counseling is mainly from a person-centered, non-authoritative style that allows clients to process, discover, and find their own solutions. By fostering a non-judgmental space; clients are met where they are and viewed as the experts in their lives. Through various evidence based techniques of counseling, clients are empowered to challenge internal thinking processes and motivated to create positive change. As clients discover how to utilize their inner strengths to bring about these transformations, autonomy increases, and independence is fortified.
