With over 30 years of experience in various counseling fields—including job development, employment, nutrition, life coaching, and mental health therapy—I bring a broad and diverse background to my work. I earned my master’s in counseling psychology from St. Martin’s University in 2000 and have had the privilege of working with individuals, children and families, couples, groups, businesses, and veterans from all walks of life. I believe everyone has the potential to improve their life and health through respectful therapeutic empowerment. Counseling can help in many ways, such as enhancing coping, communication, & consciousness.
My approach is eclectic and holistic, blending various counseling perspectives to support change, transformation, and healing. I use mindfulness to boost health, ease suffering, and reduce anxiety and depression, aiming for overall well-being and happiness.
From our very first session, my goal is to create a warm, safe space where you can focus on your goals and what you hope to achieve in therapy. Together, we’ll determine if we’re the right fit for your counseling needs.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression and/or anxiety from grief, trauma, job loss, relationships or family issues. At our initial sessions, we will explore the issues you want to address and collaborate to make a treatment plan to help you reach your therapy goals. Most of my clients report a lessening of symptoms in the first month of therapy and ongoing improvement.
