About Us

Provisional Licensed Professional Counselor


  “The human soul doesn’t want to be advised or fixed or saved. It simply wants to be witnessed—to be seen, heard, and companioned exactly as it is.”  -Parker J. Palmer 


 “When receiving services, I hope that my clients are ready to work because sometimes it is hard and gets rough before it gets better, and I do challenge my clients in a healthy way in order for them to experience the growth that they are seeking.”

"My primary treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), a Systemic Approach, and a Strength-Based Approach. I want to create a safe space for clients to feel comfortable discussing daily challenges and work toward their goals in a collaborative relationship. I also want to challenge my clients and have them exam their situations and lives from each angle helping them along their journey to grow."
