Person-centered by nature, I view clients as congruent, accepting and appreciating their experiences with empathy. I have worked with clients who have experienced the following life transitions: first-time job excitement followed by advised-resignation or firing; working FT as a single parent enrolled in classes; maintaining an income while working through an illness; military to civilian employment; long-term unemployment then a great job; and a new view of taking tests and quizzes after having surprising results from career assessments.

Increase your self-esteem, improve your relationships, strengthen your family, decrease self-defeating behaviors, and make lasting changes in your life! I welcome the opportunity to work with you on your journey with a Christian mindset. Counseling is an avenue for healing, exploration and growth. Let the healing begin! I love working with individuals, couples and families who are ready to move forward in life with hope. Progress is enhanced when there is commitment and accountable. Through a positive therapeutic relationship, progress will come. Let's journey together.

I have a passion for aiding the change in the lives of others. My diverse background and multifaceted experience provides a foundational framework for counseling. As a former educator, I have developed skills in communication, establishing rapport, interaction, and engagement.

Building confident kids with social skills, advocating for the disabled with skills for employment, and strengthening family communications are the pillars of my passion. Helping children to cope and confidence for happiness, health, and healing can be answered with Play Therapy.
