I am a licensed professional counselor with 17 years of experience. Way back then, I believe I was born curious. At any given time, I find myself pondering the 'why' of something.

In the profession I've chosen, my specialties are couples and trauma. I also employ a compassionate yet evidence-based approach to help you achie...

There are also times when clients have identified that familial traditions have held them captive or even hindered their growth. Processing those things will help you to identify the best path for you as you move forward to your big picture. I would love to assist you on that journey of bec...
