Deciding to start therapy takes courage and vulnerability and as a counselor, I feel honored to bear witness to pain and hold hope for healing and growth. My approach to counseling is to provide a safe, judgment-free space for you to process and explore your emotions and thoughts. I use a strengths-based, collaborative approach to empower my clients as they process thoughts/emotions and navigate life. Every person is deserving of a full and balanced life and aim to provide my clients with the tools, skills, and help needed to achieve their goals.
