Occupation: Counselor
Interests: "My goal as a therapist is to connect with my clients on an emotional and spiritual level and assist them to explore their personal strengths and beliefs, in order to move their energy into a space that will help bring about wholeness and healing. It is my belief that healing cannot occur unless we are ready to address our emotional, mental and spiritual challenges.
It is important that my clients feel comfortable and safe within their surroundings which is what I strive to provide in my office setting.
Counseling can bring about insight and change to a person's life. My hope for all of my clients is that they can begin to become aware of their greatest purpose and potential in this lifetime and to achieve self awareness.
My clients will be allowed to be themselves and not be judged. They are encouraged to set their own goals as I work to assist them in achieving what they have set out to accomplish in a caring and supportive environment.”
