"Much of my clinical approach focuses on helping individuals learn how to live meaningful and fulfilling lives despite difficult circumstances, trauma, disability, or adversity. I believe counseling should empower people to recognize their resilience, rediscover their strengths, and build lives grounded in purpose, healing, and hope. Whether I am working with clients, mentoring students, or conducting research, my goal is always the same: to create spaces where people feel supported, empowered, and capable of healing while navigating the realities of their lived experiences."
