Humanity thrives through relationships, yet these same relationships often spawn challenges creating various levels and types of mental distress. Mental distress leads to second guessing, criticism of self and others, even hopelessness. As a result, gaining a guide to support personal navigation through the situational dynamics are desired in order to gain insight and skills to be confident in steps forward to a better life.

As counselor, I aim to help individuals and families attain the desired resolutions and inner-peace to live confident, positive lives. I do this through an Adlerian based integrative style to facilitate addressing the client(s)' specific circumstances and goals. Therefore, I partner with the client to set goals and create a path to reach those goals.

If you are seeking a cheerleader to empower you in making positive steps forward, combined with a candidness to address root causes and concerns, it would be my joy to support you in setting forth into a new season, beyond suffering, to be restored, confirmed, and strengthened.
