My Philosopy

Virginia Satir, a renowned therapist, said, “I want you to get excited about who you are, what you are, what you have, and what can still be for you. I want to inspire you to see that you can go far beyond where you are right now.” This quote embodies my philosophy as a therapist because I believe in your potential to live a life full of self-worth, authentic relationships, and deeper self-understanding.
You are capable of leading a life characterized by peace and healing. It's possible to break free from cycles of shame, abuse, and trauma that may have influenced you so far. You were created for more, and my goal is to support you in embracing and living that reality.
My aim is to provide a comfortable and non-judgmental environment where you feel safe sharing your thoughts and experiences. I am committed to continually affirming your worth and helping you uncover or rediscover the things that bring joy to your life.
With a compassionate approach, I ask thoughtful questions to guide you toward your goals. Utilizing various evidence-based methods, I strive to facilitate meaningful change. Faith-based counseling is also available for those who seek it.
Regardless of your background, sexual orientation, or personal story, you can expect to be treated with respect at all times. I value your time and will use it wisely. To all my clients, I am deeply grateful for the trust you place in me, and it is an honor to walk alongside you during this season of your life.
