I spent nearly three decades as a school teacher, where I learned that every child has their own unique style of learning and growing. That belief inspired me to pursue my master’s degree in counseling, so I could continue helping people in a more profound and personal way. In our sessions, I focus on truly listening and creating a safe, holistic environment where you feel supported and secure. I draw on Motivational Enhancement Therapy as a foundation, encouraging clients to find their own strengths and motivation for change. One of my greatest strengths is my extensive knowledge of diverse cultures and backgrounds, which enables me to connect with people from a wide range of backgrounds. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach—our work will be collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique journey.
