Personal Statement
Throughout my education I always knew I wanted to help people, and it wasn’t long before I decided the way I would do so is through counseling. I feel blessed to be a part of each and every personal journey and love seeing the growth and strength that is gained. I work with individuals to identify current struggles, explore strengths and solutions, and develop healthy ways of coping and healing. Using a solution-focused, person-centered approach, I will join with you providing encouragement to overcome personal obstacles and the empowerment to face whatever challenges come your way.
