"Therapy provides an opportunity to explore the challenges and barriers that keep us from connecting to a meaningful life. At Affinity Counseling & Education Center we value effective interventions, guided by compassion and collaboration. We welcome individuals, couples, and families to partner with us on the journey toward fulfilling change."

"An ideal client would be someone who has possibly done some therapy work in the past, and still feels stuck in the area of relationships, addictions, trauma, grief or loss or someone who has never been to therapy previously. There are many places to get stuck in life, I find it interesting to find ways out of that place."

"Welcome to my profile! I am honored to take this moment to share a bit about my counseling approach and philosophy of helping.

I view counseling as a collaborative process of building on the strengths and assets of clients and promote these to maximize life satisfaction and healthy living."

"Part of our living experience are the challenges we face as we learn and grow as individuals, within our families, and communities. These challenges, and at times struggles, can be the precursors to new opportunities and personal growth.

I know you have all within you which you need to change, acquire, and become that which you are seeking. The privilege of my professional work is to aid in the full discovery of your strengthens, talents, and capabilities."
