- LPC
Therapy is an opportunity to pause and reflect on one’s life and discover new ways to approach conflicts and concerns. I am committed to helping my clients develop strategies to improve their lives; build self-confidence and begin to make changes; no matter how small. My counseling style is open and interactive. I'll encourage you to express concerns; identify and face struggles; and help you develop effective techniques and strategies to manage obstacles preventing you from thriving. I promise you will always receive unconditional positive regard from me in a safe; non-judgmental supportive environment.
