About My Clients

I strive to empower individuals to refine the quality of the relationship they have with themselves in order to transform the quality of the relationship they have with others, and the world around them. You can anticipate building a therapeutic relationship with me that is grounded in empathy, transparent communication, confidentiality, trust, and respect. We will create a safe space that allows you to learn, heal and change your current reality to new outcomes that are more desirable.

My Background and Approach

From an approach that is trauma-informed and solution focused, I seek to partner and collaborate with you, as a supportive guide in defining your desired life outcomes, making realistic plans to achieve, and taking decisive action to attain goals. As a licensed clinical social worker, licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselor, and certified in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, I believe that every problem can be solved, and every challenge can be conquered.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Everyone aspires to live a life of health, wealth, and longevity, yet far too many ever attain these goals. Standing as a source for a transformed world, I am committed to supporting individuals and their families by helping them put the pieces of their life's puzzle together. As an avid chess player, I have found that introducing individuals to the strategic concepts of the game helps improve thinking skills to consider consequences prior to acting. I believe that to help someone tap into their internal resources to manage social relationships, emotions, and behavioral choices will improve the overall quality of their lives.
