I have been in the Professional Counseling field over 20 years and my passion is to help individuals achieve their fullest potential utilizing their internal and external resources, especially during times of life's trials. I believe no one should walk through life alone and I feel privileged to work with young children, adolescents, adults, couples, elders and families at times of need. My hope is to open my practice to those in need of support due to life circumstances, walk with them and evaluate healthy coping strategies to persevere in Life.
I have my Masters in Counseling with a Marriage & Family focus. I am also a Registered Play Therapist and Supervisor. I believe we all need to be heard and understood. The gift parents allow for when I am invited to become another supportive person for themselves and their child is, in my opinion, priceless.
My practice Logo is Because YOU Matter emphasizing what I believe to be inately true and God's gift to myself and others. We Matter and I believe we are worth the time and effort put into counseling to support ourselves while seeking and bringing about the fullest potential within ourselves.
