About

Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the states of Virginia, Arizona, Maine, and Minnesota. I have been a rehabilitation counselor, career counselor, and mental health therapist for a total of 30 years and I am still going strong! I have also worked in higher education for almost 18 years as a faculty member training master's and doctoral level students to become the best counselors they can be for their clients. I am focusing more now on providing excellent mental health services via teletherapy to clients who are in need of support, coping skills, and companionship through their journeys toward healing. I have utilized both traditional therapy, such as cognitive behavioral, and non-traditional therapies, such as, art therapy, play therapy, sand tray therapy, somatic experiencing, and equine-assisted psychotherapy, into my practice over the years. I own 5 equines (3 horses and 2 donkeys) and a basset hound puppy. They are my therapists! I have 1 incredible adult daughter and an amazing son-in-law. I live in Virginia Beach. I am constantly learning how to better assist my clients in helping them find their way in life and heal from some of life's hardest lessons. I am excited to meet you.
