As a mental health counselor as well as an art therapist, I appreciate the benefits of verbal therapy as well as art therapy, and I use both approaches in my work according to clients' interests, needs, goals and expressive styles.

(EXCLUSIVELY TELEHEALTH) Mental wellness is a cornerstone of living a full and joyful life. However, sometimes life circumstances can leave us feeling overwhelmed and out of control. This can make us depressed, frustrated or overcome with worry. So often, our own well-being is the last thing on our "to-do" list. Maybe it's time to put yourself first by seeking counseling. Whether it's work, relationships, parenting, or any other life challenge that's got you feeling stuck, let's work together to explore what's working for you and what isn't.

Stepping into counseling with you is a privilege. As a licensed professional counselor, I find counseling to be an invitation to listen and empathize to what is going on in your heart, your head, and your world. When these don’t align, there is an incongruence that rattles our inner world. My desire is to assist adults, adolescents and children 6 and older, to find peace. I enjoy all ages because of my work with children & adults for 15 years. I served 10 years as a Children’s Pastor, and I continue to believe that every age is important. Therefore, I chose to pursue counseling to help every individual pursue healthy mental health.
