Great to meet you!

I have had the privilege of supporting the growth and empowerment of clients for more that 30 years. My education includes an MS in Therapeutic Recreation, an MA in Counseling Psychology and multiple professional certifications, including school counseling.

I have worked in multiple settings - outpatient clinics, group homes, inpatient hospitals and K-12 schools and university counseling centers.

Throughout my career I have continued to learn and develop skill sets with training in EMDR, CBT, IFS, Growth Mindset, brain based strategies and many diagnosis specific approaches.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I have a multi-faceted/multi-modal style that is focused on equipping and empowering clients. That means I am open and flexible to being a listener, teacher, practice partner, facilitator, encourager and using a variety of approaches that best fit the person in front of me.

My background in Therapeutic Recreation and school counseling also informs the various activities I may use in sessions, particularly with children.

What you can expect from our first session

Collaboratively, we will focus on developing the skills for daily life that bring your life into balance and to help you to maintain that balance.
