About

I love counseling. my interest in becoming a counselor began in my childhood when my brother experienced mental illness. While it took many years to finally get my degree and license, I also have years of life experience to complement my education and training. I offer my clients an accepting and non-judgmental atmosphere with empathic support and understanding. I have counseled people from many different cultural and economic groups and I seek knowledge and understanding of client concerns through their eyes and experience. As an Associate MFT I counseled both children and adults using modalities which are best suited for each client. I will seek your input in choosing the course we will follow and I will draw on my expertise to work as a collaborator with you to find solutions for your concerns . In addition, my goal is always to provide an environment that will enhance all aspects of your life.

If you choose to select me, I will respond within 24 hours of receiving your message and will strive to respond earlier. In order for you to have the best experience in counseling, I will ask for your cooperation with completing the forms and assessment paperwork in a timely manner. Together we will set goals that you want to achieve and measurements that we can evaluate your progress periodically. I look forward to meeting you!
