Great to meet you!

I went to school to help people, thinking it was to be in medicine, but learned my interests and heart was pulled to counseling. I have loved working with people and learning new things about others and myself, when I had the chance to choose my path I picked therapy/counseling and never looked back. Got my degree 20+ years ago and a license in mental health 15+ years ago. My personal motto is "How Can I Help"

My approach to therapy

I love helping individuals empower themselves to achieve there passions and goals. Therefore I approach therapy with a helping hand, utilizing a person centered approach. Putting my clients' needs and wants as the center of the our interaction and therapy.

What you can expect from me

My clients learn to identify their thoughts, and feelings and how their behaviors impact their lives. My goal is to help and teach my clients to be their own self-advocate by developing a tool kit of coping skills, self-awareness, and mindfulness.
