About
I am a licensed professional counselor with over 30 years of experience in the medical field. I began working as a medical billing representative and became a nurse, but I always had a passion for helping others which led me to a career in mental health. I know that no single approach is suitable for every individual, so I have trained in various modalities and other tools to develop an integrative approach tailored to each client individually. My goal is to help my clients develop insight, create meaning, and establish concrete tools that can be used long after our work has been completed. I foster a positive and supportive environment that allows for vulnerability and growth. I work solely with adults 18 and over. I enjoy empowering people to develop new behaviors, cognitions, and skills that will lead to an enhanced lifestyle and the ability to handle future challenges. I look forward to working with you. I enjoy people of all backgrounds and consider it a privilege to share in each client’s journey.
