It is my absolute honor to be a guide in someone's journey toward their mental health. I also believe counseling is a journey in which the client can help be a guide into their own treatment. I'm highly motivated to help clients acheive their goals while looking at them as a whole person and integrating their core values. I am a person of faith and enjoy working collaboratively with others utilizing their own faith. I have worked with veterans in substance abuse, to families and couples assisting them to accomplish their goals. I enjoy working with individuals who realize their old ways of coping are no longer serving them and want to shed of these old survivals skills and learn new ones. I enjoy working with couples hoping to reviatilize their relationships. I'm highly motivated by the person who is willing to take an honest look at themselves in order to promote change.

I consider myself to use a holistic approach utilizing one's core values and healthy coping tools together to maximize change and progress towards one's goal. I utilize psychodynamic theory, solution oriented, CBT, narrative therapy, and many more theories that help clients in acheiving insight and change.

Clients can expect my whole hearted attention, a sense of humor, motivation towards achieving one's goals, and a sense of honor in accompanying one on an inner journey in counseling sessions.
