Every person is more than their story to date; there are more chapters waiting to be lived! I am humbled and honored to be a part of more than 2000 clients' stories of restoration & healing for issues of depression, anxiety, bereavement, personal growth, life span challenges, and more.
Life, and everything in it, ebbs and flows. Change, though certain, is not always welcomed. I love empowering and equipping clients, within a nurturing and caring counseling relationship, to live their best lives. Life happens, counseling helps! I will love to use my experience, knowledge, and skills for you.
Emotional suffering is a part of the human condition. I'm fully committed and equipped with the education, expertise, and experience to help you reach your therapy goals, regain hope, and achieve healing and personal-growth. I specialize in CBT, Grief, Anxiety Disorders, and Clinical Depression. I am also international grief educator and counselor educator.
My natural ability for empathy and compassion, and my tireless pursuit for excellence has led to positive client outcomes. My credentials are many but do not reflect ALL of who I am. I am one who loves life, loves family and friends, and loves using my life to positively impact the lives of others! Let's work together to achieve your optimal life!
