“The potential for growth and healing exists within us all. Sometimes, life's challenges block our ability to see the necessary steps needed to heal and grow. As a counselor, it is my role to guide people through this journey, assisting in self-awareness and skill enhancement in a non-judgmental and supportive setting. Depending on a person's individual needs, I like to use an integrative approach to treatment utilizing any combination of Cognitive Behavioral, Interpersonal, and Psychoeducational therapies along with the use of relaxation and mindfulness.”
