I decided to become a counselor strongly encouraged by the results from the Strong Career Interest Inventory and the Myers-Brigg Personality Test and a love of all things psychological. Both instruments were correct in confirming counseling is where my strengths lie.

The types of clients I work best with are those who are looking for a new way forward in learning new skills to improve their lives.

I am excited to work with all types of clients as each individual brings their own new perspective and history of life in each situation. Everyone is unique.

I wish all clients knew the power that lies within them to re-create themselves into the person they want to be to live their fullest life.

I chose to practice at Thriveworks because Thriveworks has demonstrated to be a quality enterprise. Early on in my practice I worked with the president, Anthony, and Thriveworks is a reflection of his upstanding professional ethos.

I am inspired by the numerous choices we have in making our lives wonderful.

In the first session clients can expect to discuss the issues in their life that are causing them unrest in an environment of safety without fear of being judged.

In the first session I try to accomplish a friendly and comfortable atmosphere/environment moving toward a trusting client/counselor relationship.

Before scheduling the first counseling session clients should know I am empathetic, possess a sense of humor and down to earth.

In my time off for fun I read and bake.

What defines me as a non-professional is my sense of decency and giving everyone the understanding that they're doing the best they can within the moment.
