My passion is to help people discover more about themselves in order to identify what skills they need to function at their full potential, as well as the path to get there. I utilize a holistic approach, integrating various therapeutic techniques, to help people discover their strengths and build upon them. I believe in a client centered approach, therefore I am passionate about building a relationship based on trust, safety, and understanding.
It is my hope that clients will improve their self-awareness, gain necessary skills to cope, identify necessary support systems, and utilize these outside of therapy. I assess each client and together we decide which therapeutic modality is best. If requested, I integrate faith based counseling into sessions
My desire is that people would gain hope and healing, while enhancing their communication and coping skills.
