Personal Statement

Do you sometimes feel that you are stuck in a dark tunnel with no way out or fearful of moving towards the light? The light sets you free to be the emotionally healthy person that you were meant to be. Let me help you get back on the train of life and learn how to overcome those obstacles (whether they be circumstances or emotions from your past or the present) that have been preventing you from going forward.

As a professional counselor, my goal is to assist clients to become empowered and gain full insight about themselves and their relationship with others. I provide a safe, trusting, and professional environment and maintain a climate of warmth, centered on respect for my clients. I recognize the need for confidentiality and am non-judgmental in my approach.

My practice focuses on general psychological issues, though trauma work, addictions, and relationship conflicts tend to be a majority of my clientele. Having experienced raising five children as a single parent, working full time, and completing my education in my later years, I am better able to help those that are inundated with emotional turmoil.
