Mission: To be present beside those in darkness, listening to them, and helping them take the next step forward. Experience: For fourteen years I worked in Hospice and Palliative Care providing Social Work, family counseling, grief support groups, and grief counseling. Current Practice: I work full time in private practice as a counselor.

I operate from the point of view that the client is the expert in their own life. Although we are called a counselor professionally, I would like to call myself an explorer or a park guide. Through my education and experience, I can show you what possible hikes you might like to go on or sights you would like to see while in the park. Ultimately, the therapy experience is your own, and you get to choose what it looks like. I am honored to be able to support you along the way and hear your story.

My role and purpose is to help people find their freedom in order to find deep meaning in life and to love freely. The people I see often feel diminished and beaten down by many things including substance use disorders, shame put upon them by others, early childhood trauma and the grief associated with living. In my practice I help people learn skills and ways to cope with their individual issues so that they are able to live with the pain and not in it. I work with many modalities of treatment including Rapid Resolution Therapy used to treat trauma. I provide Acudetox to all my clients at every session for no additional fee.
