I work with adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions and grief. Many of my clients feel stuck or unsure how to move forward, whether that involves improving focus and follow-through, coping with loss, or navigating changes in mood and life circumstances.
You may be overwhelmed, struggling to stay focused, or going through a difficult change in your life that makes you feel stressed out.
With over 30 years of experience in healthcare as both a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Nurse, I bring a practical understanding of how physical, emotional, and mental health are connected, especially for adults managing ADHD, focus challenges, and overwhelm.
I am experienced in treating PPD/PPA, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, and related concerns. I am trained in EMDR with a focus on the perinatal period. I enjoy working with parents to support positive attachments with their children, navigate through challenges, and understand developmental stages and concerns.
I also work with those experiencing difficulties related to ADHD, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Having over 30 years of experience and a doctorate in social work, I've enjoyed helping clients work through life's hardest passages- grief, identity, relationships, and carrying heavy burdens. I work with adults and seniors, individuals and couple, and bring a warm, direct, solution-oriented style that clients describe as grounding and refreshingly practical. We develop a rhythm quickly and I invest in understanding both where you have been and where you want to go. Homework often helps progress develop quickly.
I have been working in the mental health field for four years and have experience supporting clients ages 5–60. I graduated from Regent University in 2021 with a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. For clients who prefer a faith-based approach, I also integrate Christian principles into therapy sessions.
Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, or a challenging relationship that impacts your daily life, relationships, or ability to function? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or frustrated just getting through the day? Are you wondering if life could feel better, more fulfilling, or aligned with your values? If this resonates with you, thank you for seeking support. I take a collaborative, wellness-based approach to counseling, partnering with my clients to address barriers standing in the way of their relational, spiritual, academic, or professional goals. Together, we will build on your strengths to create lasting change.
