As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 30 years of experience; I value the uniqueness of each individual and in the strength and creativity of the human spirit. Within the counseling relationship is a safe place to define areas of growth, vent feelings, explore possibilities, find encouragement and move toward peacefulness. My approach to counseling is gentle and encouraging, although I can be direct when helpful. I will support without judging and am respectful of individual and cultural differences. Success Starts with YOU and Counseling can help !
My specialties have been in the areas of relationship/marital, trauma resolution (EMDR), anxiety, identity/sexuality, life purpose, self esteem, addictive behaviors, and career/vocational counseling. I value the therapeutic relationship and seeing folks make positive changes in their lives. I can honestly say I love my work- it is my calling !
In my Professional Counseling Practice I work with individuals, relationships and families. I offer support to adults, teens, young adults and elders as well as Group Counseling. Sessions are 50-minutes and are totally confidential. I am happy to assist any cultural background, sexual orientation, age, race or national origin. I am honored to help YOU!
