What was your path to becoming a therapist?
For over 25 years, I have successfully counseled and coached adults, families, adolescents, and children who have been in need of professional services rendered in an environment of compassion, professionalism, and comfort. I am passionate about helping people discover and develop their personal strengths and use them to prevent and overcome life challenges and hindrances.

How do your core values shape your approach to therapy?
Since my journey as a counselor, I have always analyzed the importance of how culture plays a role within my theoretical counseling orientation. However, I realized being culturally-competent requires ongoing supervision, training, and awareness. This process had me look at my own beliefs and values about others. Being aware of your own culture in relation to the other cultures around you and embracing an awareness of the culturally-learned assumptions that control your life, with or without your permission, are vital to my theoretical orientation.
