Great to meet you!

Hello! After my military career, I figured out there were no available job opportunities as a superhero so I chose a different path to help others and became a clinical social worker. While raising two kids, I started school, completed a life coaching course, and graduated with my MSW in 2006. I started my career at a local hospital providing inpatient services. Later, I joined an agency providing outpatient mental health therapy to help adults navigate through complicated life issues.

My approach to therapy

I take a collaborative approach with the goal of creating a warm and inviting safe space by using the clients’ strengths to achieve their desired outcomes. I accomplish this by pulling from different aspects of life, my ongoing education, and my training.

What you can expect from me

My hope is to help people feel heard and understood, gain a sense of self-awareness, and develop skills and strategies to cope with life’s curve-balls. We will work together to build knowledge and self-empowerment.
