Great to meet you!

I started my career as an educator over 25 years ago, and I work as a mental health professional and a professional school counselor. I strongly believe self-care, mental health, nutrition, and wellness are instrumental in our quality of life. My qualifications include a master of science in nutrition and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) certification. I advocate for healthy living while using a holistic approach to physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being.

My approach to therapy

My counseling style integrates various therapeutic strategies that adapt to my client's individual and unique needs. I have been described as supportive, caring, compassionate, and empathetic, with a pretty good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles.

What you can expect from me

I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult for you right now, and offer a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment.
