I've been in human services for nearly 30 years, and helping people heal, grow, and evolve is my passion and purpose. I started my career in teaching, and transitioned to counseling about 20 years ago. I have additional training in clinical hypnotherapy and energy/shamanic healing, which informs my work with clients (but is not covered by insurance). I consider myself a holistic therapist, and love it when clients want to include spiritual topics in their plan for mental and emotional wellness.

My approach is person-centered, focusing on you, the client, and the moment-to-moment engagement, discovering insights together. I can help you discover insights into barriers, and the constructive solutions to overcoming those barriers. Each person has the right to live a life free of negative thoughts and experiences—a life of healthy well-being.
