About me
I have over 10 years experience working with couples, parents, groups, and individuals with a child abuse history, mental health conditions, chronic illness and pain disorders, communication challenges, and relationship problems.
I am a product of adversity, and I would not change a thing. My life experiences shaped who I am. Counseling helped me learn how to deal with, embrace, and manage the consequences. I became a counselor to help others find ways to find peace and balance when circumstances do their best to disrupt both.
I promote the idea that balance is the product of a self-evaluation, self-awareness, and insight. When we question ourselves, we increase our awareness of what is contributing to our distress, which increases our insight into ways we can address the problems and challenges we encounter or endure.
Clients will learn to challenge their perspectives, thoughts, and feelings to develop skills that will better help them manage life's obstacles. I offer a safe space to explore your challenges and develop your skills tool chest to set boundaries, communicate your needs constructively, identify the helpful and unhelpful aspects of your experiences, and address what you can to improve your relationships, well-being, and quality of life.
My goal is to help clients redefine FATE by Fostering Acceptance, Tolerance, and Empowerment.
