Helping Clients Thrive
I am dedicated to helping individuals experience freedom from issues that hinder them from achieving balance and satisfaction in life. I work with individuals to identify barriers that prevent clients from achieving their goals. I also incorporate Christian faith based counseling into my practice for those individuals that desire to include faith in their counseling journey. I understand the importance of creating a safe, non-judgmental environment for individuals to express and explore unresolved issues and learn how to deal effectively with them to accomplish personal goals.
Words to Live By
“We all know that if the seasons were the same, there would be no growth. We know that without winter there would be no spring. We know that without frosts there would be no bulbs and without the monsoon there would be no rice harvest. In the same way, we also know that without sorrow there would be no joy. Without pain there would be no healing. I think that’s precisely where the beauty comes in. It comes in through the fruit of the seasons. He has indeed made everything beautiful in its time.” Naomi Reed, author of My Seventh Monsoon.
Why I Became a Counselor
At times, we all need someone to walk with us in a season of life. Counselors have the unique privilege of being able to walk with someone on a difficult journey and assist them in a way that will allow them to find hope, healing and a sense that the next season will be better. I believe that counseling is my calling. I am drawn to counseling because I desire to help people fully experience life.
