Personal Perspective
“My approach to counseling is rooted in a holistic perspective that values both the psychological and spiritual dimensions of human experience. Drawing from my background in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Pastoral Counseling, I strive to meet individuals where they are, offering a compassionate and supportive space where they can safely explore their struggles, strengths, and goals. I believe that true healing and growth involve the integration of mind, body, and spirit. I am committed to using evidence-based practices alongside spiritual principles—when desired by the client—to foster lasting change. "
