My life experiences, both blessings and challenges, called me to the helping field of counseling. Combined, I have 32 years of experience as a teacher, Educational Diagnostician, school counselor, and mental health counselor working with children adolescents, teen-agers, young adults, and families.

As a therapist, I can offer you a safe, trusting, and knowledgeable therapeutic experience to grow, develop, and reach your goals. I will navigate with you through this journey we call life. As a therapist, I can offer you a safe, trusting, and knowledgeable therapeutic experience to grow, develop, and reach your goals. I will navigate with you through this journey we call life. My approach to therapy begins with client centered based understanding and development of a trusting relationship. Each client responds to a different counseling modality. I am an eclectic therapist who allows clients to benefit from many evidenced-based therapeutic practices tailored to their unique needs.

Clients can expect to feel safe, validated and understood. Progress can be expected at the rate the client feels comfortable with.
