My Focus Areas
My Therapy Style
My personal experience has taught me that change can be stressful and uncomfortable and that there are some things in life that we do not have control over. My belief that people are resilient and can navigate through the hard times in life with support is what drew me to my area of focus. It has also deepened my passion for the counseling process and those who are grieving. What I have learned through my years of practice is that even when change is hard and uncertainty is present, individuals can still have control over responses to any situation, especially with emotional support.
