As a counselor, I seek to create an environment where people feel safe, heard, valued, and honored. My style is very relational, collaborative, encouraging, and empowering using evidence-based models of therapeutic care. I feel that people can bring their frustrations, anger, fears, sadness, anxiety, ambivalence, and dissatisfaction into the counseling process. Throughout my 25 year career, I have been so fortunate to walk thousands of people through painful circumstances to experience necessary hope and healing in life.
I welcome all individuals, kids, teens, couples, and families who are looking to get unstuck in life to find the motivation and inspiration needed to take the right next steps to fulfill their dreams. I want to equip and empower you to accomplish and fulfill your personal goals and desired outcomes as soon as possible to help you maximize every moment.
I commend you for taking the brave step to find what you are looking for, and I would love to have the opportunity to walk through your journey with you to fulfill your heart's desires. I believe that genuine healing, transformation, and restoration are possible to help you experience a significant, meaningful, and extravagant life.
