About me
Seeking counseling is a meaningful step toward caring for yourself, and I’m here to walk alongside you in that process. My goal is to create a calm and supportive space where you feel safe to share openly and work toward lasting change.
Together, we’ll not only address immediate challenges—such as sadness, grief, or anxiety—but also uncover patterns, strengthen self-understanding, and build strategies that help you navigate life’s ups and downs with more confidence. Counseling is an investment in yourself, offering tools to improve self-esteem, meet your needs in healthier ways, and nurture stronger, more fulfilling relationships.
At Forward Focus Counseling LLC, it is my mission to provide the support that you need to move from where you are now to where you want to be. Through virtual individual counseling, you will be able to receive the immediate support and strategies for long-term growth and resilience.
You don’t have to face these challenges alone. With over 16 years of experience in both public and private settings, I’m committed to supporting you as you navigate life’s difficulties, discover insight, and helping you move forward. Contact me for a free 15 minute intro session to see if I could be a good fit for you as your therapist.
