There is not an ideal patient for me. I meet the person where they are at financially, emotionally, physically and socially to review needs, goals and expectations of therapy. I feel this is an integrative approach that gives the patient to steering wheel and I am the merely the GPS guide to their overall life goals.

My journey to becoming a counselor started from a young age when I realized I felt things on a deep level... or at least cried more than the other guys! For a long time I struggled with my sensitivity, thinking less of myself for lacking the control to ignore or suppress my feelings. However, over time I found that my sensitivity allowed me to empathize with others on a unique level, and that in owning and sharing my feelings, others felt more comfortable to do the same. As a result, it is my aim to provide individuals a safe space to share their struggles and develop tools to feel confident in their ability to cope with life.
