I became a counselor to provide a safe space for people to be themselves. I’m no different from the clients I see. I've been through both wonderful and difficult experiences that have shaped who I am and how I help. I have seen the effect a compassionate listener can have on a person.

Seeking counseling can be difficult. It can be hard to ask for help, especially when you don't specifically know why you need assistance. If you're reading this profile, you have already taken the first step towards getting help and I commend you for making this important decision. I would like the opportunity to help you learn how to work through obstacles, significantly change negative behaviors and thought processes, and achieve successful outcomes.

Our human experience is to face ease and hardship throughout our lives, with the ebb and flow of anxiety and calm, depression and joy, grief and comfort. Sometimes we can feel stuck, in ourselves and in our relationships. It is through compassionate yet oftentimes difficult introspection that we better understand the essence of who we are. It is from this place of self-awareness that we are able to learn, grow, and practice intentional, purposeful, mindful ways of being with ourselves and with others.
