Great to meet you!

I consider it a sacred honor and privilege to walk with people through life difficulties, identify strengths and find solutions, all through a caring and supportive relationship.

My work experience started with a career in military service. I have 15 years’ experience teaching college psychology courses, all while helping individuals achieve life goals as a life coach. The past six years have been most satisfying career years as I transitioned to full time counseling.

My approach to therapy

I earned a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology in 2009. I also have certificates in EMDR, family systems dynamics, life-coaching, and I am a nationally certified diabetes coach. My counseling style interweaves wellness, solution focused, acceptance and commitment, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I’ve worked extensively with individuals through various levels of mental illness, families, and couples.

What you can expect from me

Together we will work to determine what problems you want to work on in therapy. You will learn coping skills, and skills to make better decisions regarding your situation. You will learn how to make and maintain better relationships and learn to move toward your potential.
