About me
My counseling style is pretty laid back. I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a pretty good sense of humor. I will assist you in gaining a new perspective by utilizing my training in solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and strength-based approaches all geared toward allowing you to heal at your pace.
As a biracial counselor, I bring a unique, outside-the-box perspective to therapy. I'm passionate about guiding individuals through life's challenges and witnessing their transformation. I firmly believe in the power of change and admire the courage it takes to start therapy. Whatever your reason, know you're not alone. You're stronger than you realize for seeking help and embarking on this journey.
By developing new patterns of thinking and feeling, our brain can rewire itself, resulting in new behaviors, thoughts, feelings, and actions. Life can be hard, and sometimes you have to laugh to get past the storm. Let’s work together to overcome, heal, and grow into the best version of yourself.
I can assist you in gaining a new perspective by utilizing my training in solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and strength-based approaches, all geared toward allowing you to heal at your pace. My goal is to help you find the road to healing at a pace that is comfortable for you.
With 12 years of experience in case work, community outreach, and resource referral, I am dedicated to providing compassionate and effective therapy. I am proficient in group facilitation, individual counseling, family counseling, and couples counseling. My counseling style is laid-back, and I have been described as supportive, caring, compassionate, and empowering, with a pretty good sense of humor.
Let's work together to create positive change in your life.
