""Life is not what it is supposed to be. It's what it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference." (Virginia Satir) My belief is that, at our core, we are resilient and capable of taking on life's challenges...but sometime's we might get stuck and need support. As your therapist, I don't pretend to be an expert on your life or how you should handle situations. I prefer to get in the trenches with you, stand beside you and help you explore alternative ways to cope with life's challenges."

""The best way to help someone is not to change them , but instead , help them reveal the greatest version of themselves". We are all born with the capacity to operate at our best, yet life circumstances sometimes make us question our existence, value, and purpose. Our thoughts about who we are, why we exist , and if we are loved, create thoughts in which behaviors follow. As a licensed counselor, I consider it a privilege to join with my clients as they journey toward becoming the best versions of themselves by taking control of their thoughts and actions."

"Do you ever feel like you are not living the life you were meant to live? My approach to counseling involves fixing faulty beliefs. I believe our thoughts about a situation can be changed even if the situation we are currently in cannot be. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy where the goal is to change the irrational beliefs and assumptions that a client has in order to facilitate a behavioral or emotional change. I aim to eliminate the negative patterns in your life by challenging you to be aware of the way you feel and behave."
