We only know what we know. There’s so much about life that we’re never taught, or the ways we were taught were unhelpful or harmful. I believe that every person has the ability to change, grow, and heal. We sometimes just need a little help. That’s where I can be of service. My hope is that clients feel safe, accepted, and understood when they meet with me. I honor and acknowledge the inherent dignity and worth of all people. I value the chance to work with people from diverse backgrounds, cultures, identities, and beliefs. My desire as a counselor is to come alongside people and offer new tools to help navigate this life and to bring people more into their authentic, whole self.
