(He/Him/His)
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
I believe you are the expert of your life. I approach counseling by partnering alongside you. I welcome and affirm all client identities in my practice.
Are you stuck in a cycle of worry, finding yourself ruminating and feeling indecisive? Do you notice that sometimes you're feeling out of control and drowning under the pressure of problems piling up? I know that overwhelming worries, sadness, and stressors takes the joy out of life and makes it hard to do what you expect of yourself. Sometimes it can be difficult to take a step back and examine everything when you are in the midst of a problem - especially when you have so much going on with friends, family, school, work, and other big life choices and changes! I am a patient, thoughtful listener with a keen eye for your strengths. I nurture a peaceful, safe, and non-judgmental space. I want to ensure you feel heard and understood. I want to challenge you and empower you to make the differences in your life by showing compassion and sincerity along the way. I place heavy emphasis on being a partner in the process of navigating the obstacles that life presents you because I know there is a way through. We will find that way together. I will be here to encourage you, help knock down obstacles in your way, and celebrate your progress as you reach a more fulfilling life.
