Personal statements:
Christ met all those He ministered to where they were and walked with them with grace and compassion through their struggles and triumphs. I work to model my practice after His, and seek to meet all of my clients with warmth, honesty, hope, and acceptance as we walk together to meet their goals. I am passionate about practicing multicultural and trauma informed counseling and meeting my clients where they are. I believe that counseling can be a powerful force for growth and healing in anyone’s life, and that we all need a safe place to be vulnerable and find our own strengths as we journey through our joys and struggles. My hope is to provide that space for my clients and to help them flourish wherever they are.
