About
Thank you for reaching out. That first step can be difficult. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who entered the field late in life. I decided to return to school at age 50 to complete my Master's of Counseling degree. I have been able to take my vast life experiences (mistakes and all!) to help others who may be struggling. I come from a place of total non-judgment and focus on listening to the client and what their needs are. I am an animal lover, spend any leisure time gardening or crafting. If you are struggling with the many challenges this life brings to us, I am the therapist for you. If you are struggling with the many challenges this life brings to us, I am the therapist for you. I come from a place of deep understanding of the human condition with an open approach to listening to you and what is on your mind. It is very important that clients feel relaxed and that they can be open during our sessions. Are you struggling with low self-esteem, grief, depression, or anxiety? These are a few of the areas where I have been successful in working with clients who are struggling. Together, we can look at the thoughts and behaviors you are experiencing and figure out the reasons attached to so many of the things we struggle with.
