Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 40 years experience working with families, individuals, and couples and developmental disorders. I also have experience working with individuals who have PTSD and those who are struggling with sobriety. Not only that, but I believe in building a team approach with my clients and bringing all my skills in helping us to reach our goals. I am Native American and also bring a holistic approach to my clients.

My approach to therapy

I offer an opportunity for individuals to have a safe place to evaluate their current situation and explore alternative ways they can bring healing and change into their current difficulties. When we understand ourselves better we can make healthy decisions for ourselves and create a fulfilling life.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will be getting to know each other and start to identify what aspects of your life is causing stress and preventing you from living your life fully and with joy. We will discuss how we will move forward on this journey together and identify how we will know we are at the end of this journey. I am so excited and cannot wait until we meet.
