There is never a testimony without a test. My goal as a counselor is to help create an environment that is conducive to learning from every experience. I enjoy helping people heal, change and grow through difficult time. I am a person-centered therapist here to help you work through life’s challenges. We all need support at times. Let me guide you through the therapeutic process to be a better you.
