About Me
Empowering Your Journey:
True personal empowerment, to me, means taking control of your life. It involves identifying your desires, setting meaningful goals, and taking action to achieve them. I specialize in helping you break free from disruptive patterns, overcome lack of confidence, and reverse feelings of hopelessness. Together, we'll work on developing self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-compassion, ultimately leading to a sound mind and the ability to navigate life with purpose.
About Me:
"Dedicated to the values of self-determination and personal autonomy, I strive to make a positive impact through counseling and education, always holding a profound respect for the inherent dignity and worth of each individual. With a Master's in Professional Counseling from Liberty University, I bring over a decade of experience working with diverse populations in both residential and outpatient settings.
My supportive, insight-oriented approach empowers you to understand your emotional landscape, relational dynamics, and the roots of your challenges. My goal is to guide you in discovering your own solutions and developing healthier coping and relating strategies. While I can be direct in highlighting destructive patterns or potential dangers when necessary, my primary role is to facilitate your growth, empowering you to find your path rather than dictating it."

What to Expect:
In our sessions, expect a safe, non-judgmental space for personal growth and empowerment. My goal is to help you find your inner strength, overcome obstacles, and create positive change aligned with your values and purpose.
