"In the journey of life, storms occur in our path that may throw us off course. Some of these challenges and transitions can be difficult to navigate. Past storms can also keep us from moving forward in life. I believe in the capacity of every person to live a joy-filled, empowered life. I enjoy walking alongside my clients, for a time, to assist them in reclaiming their life. At times our children also need extra guidance to navigate through life's storms.

We all, however, need support and guidance sometimes. My clients often give the feedback that they feel I am nonjudgmental, approachable, a good listener, but also give helpful feedback. Clients also say they feel a 'connection,' and can open up easily. I am in private practice, so when you call, you know you will be speaking directly to me. I hope to hear from you!"

"“Our lives can become messy things. When this happens many of us invest the majority of our energy into holding our exterior lives together; while throwing the scraps to our internal life. I practice from the belief that when we are lost in the emotional weeds it is faster and less painful to have a guide who knows the ‘weedlands’ counsel us back to emotional ‘civilization’ than it is to wander in the hopes of stumbling onto a healthier path. I strive to provide counseling with warmth, peace, joy, hope, and love by accepting who you are where you are while being mindful of your hopes and goals.” "

"Prior to private practice, I worked as a Licensed School Counselor. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have worked with diverse populations. I use a variety of counseling approaches. Each approach is specific to the individual clients' needs."
