My counseling lens is supportive, strengths based solution focused, and I use cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches in my work. I provide a non-judgmental active approach to counseling. In a caring yet straightforward way I get to know you, help you to set meaningful counseling goals, take action, and be accountable toward reaching your goals to live your best life. If you are looking for someone to help you be accountable, then I am a good fit! As a mother of 2 (one in college), I understand the complexities of balancing family and work. Tired of feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges? I can help!
I have a passion for helping people get through challenges, life transitions, and lead a happier more balanced life. I am caring, down to earth, and have a sense of humor. I enjoy working with a wide variety of people from different backgrounds and am LGBTQ+-affirming. I have 16 years of counseling experience with children (11-18), adults, and families.
If you have questions or are curious if I would be a good fit for your individual needs please connect with me. E-mail works best. I am also a K-12 Licensed School Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Approved Clinical Supervisor. I am a musical theater enthusiast, animal lover, and singer. I enjoy being outdoors and spending time with my family.
