I am a counselor who specializes in helping clients achieve their goals. I offer a judgment-free, unconventional approach to counseling as I believe therapy should be tailored to the person asking for help. I firmly believe everyone does things in their own unique way and time so honing in on self-identified strengths assists me with helping clients improve upon what they may consider their "challenges". I also assist my clients with getting in tune with those hidden strengths they may be unaware of. The hardest part of therapy is getting started. Book a session and take a chance. It is the only way to be the change you wish to see.

Helping people deal with challenging situations is my specialty. I draw from a vast array of therapeutic modalities, but I lean more on my client's input to assist with coming up with a plan that is tailored to fit the individual's needs. I do not believe in a "one size fits all" therapeutic process and I lean more towards a comprehensive approach.
Life can be very challenging, but you do not have to face it alone. You took the first step by reaching out for help. Take another chance and contact me to book your first session. You can gauge for yourself during the first session if my approach is the right fit for you. No harm, no foul. Take a chance on you!!! I look forward to meeting you soon...
