She has great faith in the human spirit’s ability to communicate issues and then pulls from her vast knowledge and external resources to explain the impact on health, work, or family and recommend real solutions that work for you.
A personal note:
I remain grounded in the morals, values, and experiences from my childhood growing up in Oklahoma. I view all people as existing on an equal playing field, each with personal genius/value, and deserving of feeling important, loved, and safe. I respect that we can have varying experiences during our lifetime and some of them can be painful. It is both brave and vulnerable for you to step into a nonjudgmental setting where you can be open about your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors to seek relief and create a future that is as peaceful and exciting as you dream it to be. Thank you for trusting me with your future.

The counseling relationship can be thought of as the pathway to growth, problem-solving, and restoration. It is an opportunity for you to explore options in a safe environment. Although experiencing change can be uncomfortable at times, it is my goal to guide you in this process and establish a foundation of respect and trust; a relationship in which we collaborate to achieve the desired outcome.
Overall, my personal philosophy of counseling involves helping the client reconnect with the present moment. I utilize a multimodal approach that is unique to you as an individual. It is my wish to work beside you, gently challenge, and encourage you to restore your physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
