I believe that individuals and families are a sum of their past, present, and future life experiences. Positive or negative, these experiences help to shape how you think, feel, and ultimately respond to this world’s expected and unexpected challenges. Life is a journey, and there are times we need to reach-out to each other along the way.

Throughout my career of service, I have spent countless hours actively listening to people share their fears, doubts, frustrations, dreams, and successes. It is in my character and best practice to “meet people where they are.” My goal is to create a psychologically safe environment to communicate and establish a professional, compassionate, and healthy therapeutic alliance. Utilizing a strengths-based approach, I work to create a team environment in which you can uncover your own unique strengths. “Shifting” your thinking and learning how to use your individual gifts can lead to a higher quality of everyday life.
