Each individual holds the solutions to their challenges within themselves; however, at times, we all need a bit of guidance and support to uncover those answers. As a therapist, my primary goal is to assist clients in discovering these solutions. I extend my experience and support to each client, fostering a space of comfort and acceptance.

I am committed to fostering a safe and supportive environment where clients can comfortably express their thoughts and feelings. I strongly believe that establishing a strong therapeutic relationship is key to achieving successful outcomes. This connection helps clients feel secure and understood, encouraging them to open up and share more freely. Such openness can significantly enhance the effectiveness of the counseling process.

My approach to counseling is founded on a non-judgmental and accepting attitude that honors each client’s beliefs and culture. I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their stories openly. Through active listening and validation of their experiences, I ensure that they feel truly heard and understood throughout our sessions. This supportive atmosphere fosters trust and encourages personal exploration, allowing clients to engage more deeply in the counseling process.

With 27 years of professional experience, I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of individuals. My background includes providing support to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, providing supportive counseling to college students to foster their personal and academic growth, and offering guidance and tools to a diverse clientele population. Each of these experiences has enriched my understanding of the human experience and equipped me with the tools to meet clients where they are on their journey.
