I believe most people have the ability to overcome their obstacles; however, certain challenges warrant the assistance of a professional counselor. I establish a trusting, professional, therapeutic relationship, which promotes safety

 and openness. Like a gardener, which is one of my favorite pastimes, I cultivate care, empower growth, nurture the root, help restore life, and foster an environment for thriving.

 

I work collaboratively with my clients to promote self-awareness and personal growth. I help clients identify, manage, and improve their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, by integrating approaches in which the client is an active participant.  My role is to help

my clients strengthen their confidence, self-esteem, independence, mental health, and capacity to effectively manage and overcome life’s challenges.
