About

Life can be difficult and recent events have made it much harder. As the Covid-19 crisis begins to end and we return to "normal" life there are still hurdles for us to navigate. Having worked as a crisis counselor at FEMA disaster centers, I helped many people work through emotional difficulties in the aftermath of a crisis. During the pandemic I offer telehealth sessions. Outside of the residual COVID-19 issues, you might just need a caring person to listen and help you navigate the hills and find refuge in the valleys of everyday life. I welcome the opportunity to help you obtain your goals.
Sometimes being able to voice your thoughts, without fear of judgement, can bring relief. Sometimes gaining insight into how perceptions guide decisions and having someone assist with providing guidance on how to look through a different lens can provide a new outlook. I am a dual-credentialed mental health/addictions therapist with 15+ years in the field.
I've worked with young people ages 12-18 and adults, of all ages, who are experiencing a variety of issues. I'm proficient in Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Seeing people work through their challenges and move forward without continued need of my services has brought me great joy.
