I view counseling as a collaborative process, using a person-centered, solution-focused approach to help individuals set goals and build positive relationships.

I begin with an introductory session for you to share your story and therapy goals. My aim is to create a supportive and safe environment for open communication. Together, we’ll focus on making your goals a reality in subsequent sessions.
