INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING

At the heart of my counseling practice is a passion to help people believe in themselves. I firmly believe that each of us holds immense, untapped potential with a true capacity for greatness. Too often, we become entangled in lies we tell ourselves, limiting what we believe is possible. My mission is to help you break free from those barriers and discover the incredible strength within you.
