"As a counselor, my goal is to create a safe space where one’s story can be heard and honored. I work together with my clients to explore what changes are needed and how to bring them about using evidence-based practices and the strengths and gifts that they already possess. Small steps lead to larger steps and in time to healing and greater peace."
