Hi, I am a state board Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor which means I am a Clinical Mental Health therapist, I am also a retired nurse. I believe that understanding our mental health frees us to have a fulfilled emotional and spriritual life. I’ve been helping people with their mental health for approximately 30 years. I have worked in inpatient mental health, drug and alcohol recovery, medical rehabalitation counseling, school counseling, Christian counseling and couples and family counseling. I tend to be most helpful with people struggeling with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma and suicidal ideation. Reaching out for counseling is difficult, so you're doing great, you are taking that first step!

Therapists all have their personalized approach and bring their personalities into evey therapeutic session. My client's tell me I am a caring and compassionate counselor and that I am very easy going and easy to talk to. I am the therapist that will help you to learn to cope with life. I use person centered therapy approaches along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which can be trauma focused which both are widely accepted approaches.

I always start my sessions with a greeting while introducing myself in a way that breaks the ice. Then help my new client share with why they decided to get counseling. I reinforce confidentiality and help the client feel safe enough to process about anything.
