Biography

I believe people have the capacity to overcome problems and deserve access to tools and resources that allow them to do so. Through counseling, I serve as a non-biased support system and collaborate with clients to identify, learn, access, strengthen, and effect skills, in order to move forward with a greater sense of self, a stronger sense of wellness and empowerment, and more positive relationships.
