Personal Statement

Counseling has always been a way of life for me.  I did not understand the meaning of counseling at the time, but in my younger years, I would listen intently to friends talk about issues they were going through.  While listening, I developed patience and empathy which helped me identify solutions and plan out strategies that would help resolve the problems they were facing.

As an adult, I recognize that helping others is my passion, and I am committed to providing clients with the resources necessary to achieve fundamental change in their lives.  Through guidance, education, goal-setting, and teamwork, I believe each individual has the capacity to enhance his/her life in a positive manner.  I am dedicated to providing support, encouragement, and accountability for my clients.  I also believe in creating an environment where my clients feel safe, which is crucial for resolution and change.   

As a Christian, I firmly believe God holds the ultimate key to our lives, but He has given us the ability and opportunity to make choices.  As a counselor, I am suited to assist with those choices in order to help each person achieve personal growth, to help each person reach his/her full potential, and to help each person ultimately achieve self-actualization.
