I made the decision to become a counselor so I could do my part to help heal and restore aspects of the human psyche injured by adversity and trauma.

I specialize in working with adults and seniors.

Each client comes in with a unique mix of experiences, personal history, and values. These can serve as an important lens through which I can investigate what works best for the client. Witnessing change, no matter how long it takes, is what I find most exciting.

If they embrace the possibility, they might find that their fiercest and most loyal ally is within.

Access to mental health services is important to me. Thriveworks is actively removing barriers through its expanded reach, and this closely aligns with my philosophy as a counselor.

I am inspired by the prospect of continuously improving and the opportunity to incorporate innovative methods into my practice.

Clients can expect a supportive and non-judgmental environment. Individuals who are already familiar with the counseling process may be aware that the first session involves a good amount of information gathering. Beyond this, the first session serves as an opportunity to understand the client’s expectations and therapeutic goals. Where the counseling process is entirely new to a client, I carve out time to address concerns that may cause some hesitation to proceed.

I would want to work with the client to create a sense of psychological safety and craft a vision for success.

I appreciate the courage it takes to reach out to a counselor for help. It can be particularly daunting for a client whose help-seeking behavior runs counter to doing so. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment that takes a client’s culture, history, and values into account.

Reading is my favorite pastime. I get great satisfaction from turning the pages of a book.

I enjoy immersing myself in different cultures and ways of life.
