Who I am
My experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, and families in a variety of clinical and community settings.
My counseling approach is client-centered, relationship-focused, and grounded in empathy, collaboration, and respect for each individual’s unique experiences. I utilize trauma-informed and strengths-based techniques to help clients identify challenges, build healthy coping skills, and develop confidence in their personal growth journey.
​
I am knowledgeable in child and family counseling techniques, behavioral management, and client advocacy, with a strong commitment to supporting clients through life transitions, emotional challenges, and personal healing. Together, we will work toward building a strong foundation for growth, resilience, and lasting positive change.
