My approach comes with an understanding that people are multifaceted.

Counseling is a step towards knowing and understanding yourself deeper. The counseling process provides individuals with assessment, diagnosis, psychoeducation, skill building, problem solving, and the guidance to develop and implement goals from a treatment plan that was co-created by counselor and client. I provide an environment that is enriching, trusting, respectful, compassionate, empathetic, and free of judgment and biases. I empower clients to make healthy change in their lives and bring back emotional balance and stability.

Did you know therapy is not about creating an absence of negative feelings, or conversely, about creating happy feelings. It's about helping you live a productive life and about helping you develop and sustain meaningful relationships. It’s also about learning and applying the skills needed to grow from life’s ups and downs." Therapy is about creating a healthy and balanced life. You have everything you need to create the life you want to live. You might feel powerless but you are not. You might feel hopeless but there is hope. When we are stuck in negativity it feels hopeless and as if change is not possible.
