Philosophy of Counseling

Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."  We all have things we are afraid of; such as fear of encountering our past, fear of the future, fear of our own emotions, fear of change, to name a few.  Sometimes these fears take a stronghold in our lives and impact our ability to function in a negative way.  Counseling creates an opportunity to meet with someone who can look at a situation from an outside perspective.  I strive to address my clients with dignity, respect and empathy.  I want to meet you wherever you are in your life and assist you with taking steps toward healing and reaching your goals.

I have a background with addressing concerns related to depression, anxiety, anger, relationships, trauma, parenting, and behavioral issues.
