I believe in laying a foundation where asking for help is not a burden. I achieve success by providing a neutral, safe and supportive environment for transformation while allowing space for vulnerability and growth.

My counseling style is pretty laid back. I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a pretty good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles. I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment.
