positive changes, gain new insight, or move toward a more fulfilling life. I take a person-centered, strengths-based approach to counseling that emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and

authenticity. I strive to meet clients where they are while honoring their unique experiences, identities, values, and goals. I believe the therapeutic relationship itself can be a powerful catalyst for

healing, providing a space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. My work is also influenced by principles of Motivational Interviewing (MI) and

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Through Motivational Interviewing, I help clients identify their own motivations, strengths, and readiness for change, recognizing that lasting growth comes from

within. Through CBT, I support clients in understanding the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, helping them challenge unhelpful patterns and develop healthier coping

strategies. By integrating these approaches, I aim to empower clients to make meaningful changes while building confidence in their ability to overcome obstacles. As an aspiring LPC, my goal is

to continue working with diverse populations and to support individuals as they navigate life transitions, trauma, relationship concerns, addiction recovery, identity exploration, and personal

growth. I hope to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that helps clients strengthen resilience, discover their inner resources, and create lives that align with their values and aspirations. I

believe healing does not require perfection—it begins with the courage to take the first step. It is a privilege to walk alongside individuals on their journeys, helping them recognize their strengths,

embrace their value, and find hope for the future “It is never too late to start with you. Healing begins where you are, and every step forward is a testament to your strength, courage, and worth.”
