Great to meet you!

My counseling philosophy is simple, “It is okay, not to be okay”. Many of us do not completely understand this essential and fundamentally important concept. The Counseling field is not simply a career for me; however, counseling is a calling for me to serve those in need by promoting a process of change that brings guidance and healing. I am dedicated to providing compassionate and individualized care.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My therapy style is rooted in Solution Focused Therapy, which I customize to meet the needs of each individual client.

What you can expect from our first session

My focus is to assist clients' self-awareness and adapt healthier coping skills to navigate life's transitions. I empower clients to gain a deeper understanding of who they are and how thoughts and behaviors impact their livelihood.
