Hello and Welcome- At True to Self Counseling we believe a supportive therapeutic relationship can have a significant impact for anyone. It can help provide insight, strength, solutions, and new coping strategies for all types of challenges in life. Our experience has shown us that when people are provided with a comfortable environment, they become willing to explore and express themselves more freely and honestly. Our hope is that we successfully guide people towards a greater self-awareness. We believe it is empowering when people can utilize their own unique abilities to overcome the concerns that led them into therapy

I work with many clients from many different backgrounds and cultures. My priority and number one goal is to enhance their lives and over all psychological functioning and wellbeing. I am not here to fix you, as you are not broken. My main goal is to help every single client to actualize and become the best version of themselves. I approach each client as an individual, with respect, dignity, and sensitivity. I view myself as working alongside each client towards creating more fulfilling opportunities, while reducing long standing negative behaviors, feelings, and thought patterns.

Perhaps one of the most important decisions you can make is the decision to see a therapist. I understand how personal this is for you. The connection you make with the therapist that you choose is equally as important as taking that first step. That is why I create a safe, supportive and non-judgmental environment for you to discuss the challenges that you currently face. We will partner together to develop tools and coping skills to make positive change and live a happier life.

My passion and interest is in people, their stories, their struggles and their triumphs. This has led me to my mission to help people create the life they have always wanted. I passionately believe that the key of being a good therapist/counselor/coach/mentor is not to help people be something they’re not... but it’s to help people become more of who they really are!
