“I consider it an honor to work alongside others as they navigate the journey toward healing and change. My hope is to improve emotional health as a part of overall wellness. I believe that each person has a unique set of needs, life experiences, and strengths that deserve a tailored counseling approach. What may work for one person in therapy might not work for another. My objective is to help identify and work toward therapeutic goals at a comfortable pace in a way that best fits each person. These may include building self-awareness and understanding, improving skills to deal with life’s difficulties, exploring and working through past hurts, and repairing and strengthening relationships.”
