As a therapist, I am blessed to witness the power that individuals have to persevere - even thrive - in the face of life's most difficult problems. I know that every patient brings their own courage, strength and skills, though they may not recognize these aspects of themselves.

And, what I appreciate most about the therapeutic relationship is the opportunity to share grace with others while helping them move beyond the emotional, behavioral, or relational issues that keep them from having the life they desire.

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to view my profile to learn about me and my style as a counselor. I am an Associate Professional Counselor (APC) working toward full licensure to become a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Registered Play Therapist (RPT). I practice from a person-centered and holistic approach, considering a client's emotional, social, spiritual and physical health. I aim to provide a safe and empathetic space for collaboration and encouragement for each of my clients. Additionally, I utilized play and expressive arts techniques to assist clients in building the skills they need towards healing.

I believe an individual has the tools to live the fulfilling life they want to live and I, as the therapist, can help guide him/her achieve his/her goals. I create a non-judgmental therapeutic atmosphere and I make sure to listen to my clients.

I am also passionate about individuals who are going though bereavement and grief; no one should have to experience loss alone.
