"I believe that counseling is a way to strenghten oneself emotionally so that one's life journey can be traveled with calmness, peacefulness, integrity and well-being. Since this journey is not always easy, counseling offers a partnership to explore problems, challenges and life events with the assistance of a well-trained, knowledgeable and empathetic guide by your side. As each life story and circumstances are different, so too are the various approaches that are available. I believe that each individual is unique and, therefore, endeavor to use my training and experience to provide the safest and most comfortable format for effective therapy."
