My goal as a counselor is to provide a safe, comfortable environment to build a trusting relationship with my client. I am flexible for each individual client. I value the ability to listen to a client without any predetermined goals of my own. The client goals for treatment are determined by the client or a collaboration between the counselor and client that is acceptable for each client. 

 

I hope to guide a client toward progress through personal exploration and encouragement. My personal faith tells me God is our only true healer. I love to include faith into the healing process when it

is requested.

 

I have learned that exploration with a client's past may be an effective way to help a client understand why they may have chosen a specific pathway through life. I believe a client is an expert on themselves, no one else knows you the way an individual knows themselves. The only way I am able to better understand you is to listen to you and hear your story.
