I never set out to become a counselor. The "plan" was to finish my History degree, teach then retire....that didn't happen because life. I am married for 20 years with a 16-year-old daughter. My mentors taught me to think outside the box, outside of my comfort zone, to nurture, & look for strengths within people. I do my best to make sessions comfortable, and filled with humor, and acceptance. I am trained in EMDR, and certified in perinatal mental health.

I always ask how client's previous experiences in treatment have been. I talk about my experience and a bit of my family. I listen more than talk.

I make certain that clients know that they are safe and their concerns are the most important. I check in if they prefer processing things or homework, suggestions, or observations.
