It is my greatest pleasure to support individuals as they navigate through some of life’s toughest moments by extending empathy, support, and validation.

I believe that each individual is capable of self-direction and growth. In counseling, I strive to develop a professional rapport with each client that is facilitative to those ends. In the counselor-client relationship, I focus on creating an atmosphere of empathic understanding, support, acceptance, and genuineness in which the individual is free to become the person he or she chooses to be. I would be honored to utilize these mechanisms of support to assist you and your family to navigate through life’s challenges.

I look forward to the opportunity to support you in your journey to achieve the comfort and healing you desire.
