Therapy Style
I believe that everyone has hit a roadblock before, but we don’t have to overcome those roadblocks alone. I have a passion for offering support to individuals during their most trying times. My approach is person-centered. I believe that you are the expert of your life, and I am here to assist you as you explore life’s journey.
My ultimate goal is to meet you where you are emotionally and help guide you towards healing and wellness with compassion and understanding. A good counselor can be a crucial partner along the way to help us think through where we have been, where we are, and where we want to be.
When I sit down with someone for the first time, I really hope they come to see that they are not alone. It is comforting when someone really tries to understand your problems, your concerns, and your hopes. Together we can think through those problems, look for some patterns, and start to put together a plan. We are all on a road somewhere. We can’t control where we have been, but we can have a say in where we are going, and we can surround ourselves with the people who can help us along the way.
If you are looking for someone to be by your side as you make your next step, I would enjoy a chance to learn more about you and where you are headed.

So being a mental health professional is one of the best ways to help others with their life's journey.

Outside of work I love movies, going bowling, hanging with my family and friends, traveling and being a huge foodie. I love to eat!
What is one thing you do daily that supports your well-being?

How do you recharge?
Spending time alone and doing something relaxing is how I love to recharge. I love to get massages, watch one of my favorite movies, eat a comforting meal and rest.
