Are you trying to make a positive change in your life, but are having trouble doing it on your own? Are you experiencing difficulties with other life challenges? Do you sometimes wish you could talk with someone who listens without judgement? Maybe you’re going through some life transitions and need help moving towards a goal. I offer a safe space to explore these challenges and work with you to achieve desired outcomes. Through collaborative dialogue we can work together to develop a plan. Everyone needs a little help sometimes and we all deserve to be heard.
I am a humanistic counselor who uses a person-centered approach and meets people where they are. I have extensive experience in helping individuals at all stages of their lives and in the arts. I have also helped people improve their lives through connecting them with services and helping them further their education.
My background as a visual artist has taught me the value of balance in life and that creative approaches can help one overcome challenges. I welcome individuals, couples, and groups. All are welcome.
