About

I have been licensed as a professional mental health counselor since 1999. During that time, the experience has provided me with the opportunity to work with individuals from all walks of life; through various stages of pain and suffering, as well as growth and recovery. It has been a journey to see the change that takes place in the lives of those that take on the task of therapy. Those that form a therapeutic alliance. Those that stay the course. I am more of a believer today in the power of what we do, even than I was in 1999. We owe it to our profession, and especially our clients, to continually strive for their growth. To assist our clients in greater measure, never settling for being just average.

I approach my clients through the formulation of therapeutic relationships built on trust, goal setting, and growth. Our work is specific, measurable, and objective. However, it is not cold or lacking in warmth. It is a safe place to explore and take risks. In the end, we always want what is in the best interest of the client, and my commitment will always be just that. If given the opportunity, I look forward to working with you and being of service.
