We aren’t meant to do this life alone.
Life isn’t easy. You need people in your corner cheering you on whether it is through the exciting seasons or the really hard ones. With my approach to counseling, I want you to know you have a safe space to turn to. Through my decades of experience with teaching and being an advocate for my students, peers, and family, I have developed a passion for understanding where people are and where they want or need to be. My informed guidance has helped my clients work through life’s challenges with a renewed sense of confidence and clarity.
