Personal statement:

If you are an adult, college-aged student, or teenager who is struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, finding it difficult to adjust to life’s many transitions, coping with a divorce, experiencing grief and loss, or struggling with weight loss, I welcome the opportunity to meet you to see if we are a fit. In the face of such challenges, counselors have a unique privilege in providing the guidance and the support we need to identify our strengths, understand our worth and value, become unstuck and learn new techniques and ways to handle our problems and reach our goals and highest potential.

While my experiences as a therapist and as an educator and counselor in the school setting have equipped me, it is through my own experiences seeking relationship with and healing from God and asking for help, that I know the process of therapy can be the most difficult yet the most rewarding experience one can have. It begins with asking for this help.

You will find that I am a natural listener and I develop trusting relationships through acceptance and non-judgement. My style is warm and friendly, and I encourage self-reflection while also fostering goals and action steps. I find the opportunity to sit with and walk along-side another human being in their struggle one of my greatest honors.
