Why did you decide to become a counselor?
I enjoy hearing and discussing what is on someone's mind, being a sounding board, and helping them process their thoughts and emotions.

Clients who are willing to try to be as open and honest as they can be during our sessions.

What can clients expect in their first session with you?

By the end of the first session, individuals will determine their own therapeutic goals that identify what they would like to work towards, build upon, and learn during their sessions.

Concerts, exhibits, coffee with friends, and trying to get through my stack of magazines and books.
