About me
My goal as your counselor is to support you in your journey toward growth, healing, and emotional stability. I will work collaboratively with you to address the impact of trauma, strengthen self-worth, and foster greater confidence and resilience. I recognize that life's challenges can feel overwhelming and difficult to navigate alone. Through the counseling process, I will provide guidance, support, and a safe space to help you effectively navigate these challenges and move toward your personal goals.
I encourage personal growth and the development of healthier coping strategies. My therapeutic approach is grounded in person-centered therapy, meaning that I believe every client holds the inner capacity to create change and deserves a space where they feel heard, respected, and understood. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment that honors your story and meets you where you are. My role is not to tell you who to be, but to walk alongside you as you explore your strengths, overcome obstacles, and work toward the goals that matter most to you.
