"Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow." -Robert T. Kiyosaki. Taking the first step toward change can be intimidating, but my passion is to provide a safe and comfortable space for adults, adolescents, children, and couples to share their experiences, help them learn about themselves, and teach them ways to accomplish their goals. Whether it be relationship issues, emotional difficulties, behavioral problems, or life transitions, we can collaborate and work together to find meaning through the struggle and initiate life change. It starts with you, today!
I adapt an integrative approach to counseling, primarily utilizing a person-centered and strengths-based approach while supplementing cognitive behavioral therapy techniques and creative arts processes. Having a strong rapport and therapeutic trust is one of the biggest keys to success in therapy, so I use humor and genuine empathy throughout sessions.
"You're off to great places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting... so get on your way!" -Dr. Seuss. The journey is not over... It's just beginning. Adults, adolescents, children, and couples are all welcome. Through skill building, personalized interventions, and productive challenges, I hope to provide you with the support toward change and growth
