My goal is to help people define their goals, issues, and roadblocks, while empowering them to take charge of their lives and their futures. I utilize scientifically research-based theories and tools in counseling with an emphasis on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy; with the primary focus on developing skills and healthy thought patterns that will help people in their interpersonal relationships in an effort to thrive in a life that is rich in love and belonging.

​In our culture, it is common practice that we contact a professional for physical ailments, diseases, and disorders; however, a stigma still exists that often keeps us from getting the mental health help we need for psychological, emotional, and social issues. Interestingly enough, ignoring mental health issues can lead to the physical issues that sends us to our medical practitioners. My goal is to encourage a holistic point of view when it comes to being human: body, mind, and spirit, as they are interrelated.
