Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I am very passionate about my work with clients. Clients can expect to work together on goals and identifying tools to help build awareness and develop coping skills. This will help us focus on what we can do to address your needs during each counseling session. After the first session, this give us an opportunity to recognize your goals and for me to build a counseling agenda that fits those goals so we can work together towards them.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am passionate about working together with my clients to navigate life's challenges by identifying the root causes and creating a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress. My biggest strength is that I actively listen well and that I very non-judgmental. These strengths help me build relationships and provide a comfort for my client to open up and feel safe during our sessions.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with individuals aged 15-55 who are motivated to improve themselves but lack the necessary tools to make that change happen. Many of them feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious for various reasons, and they recognize that change is essential for their growth. Clients that also understand that counseling is voluntary, and that the best way for a client to grow is to be open-minded, coachable, and transparent with their counselor.
