From a young age, I have had an innate desire to help others which has led to countless situations where I was “counseling” friends, family, and strangers alike.  So, a natural transition to my second career as a counselor became available when my children moved from our nest, and I was encouraged by my husband to make myself legitimate by returning to school.  

 

My counseling philosophy is to offer empathetic guidance and meaningful feedback as you journey along self-discovery, and personal growth. It’s important to acknowledge that no matter the feelings—be it sadness, anxiety, or hopelessness there is a path towards healing and growth.  I will help you to find the tools to overcome and take back control over your life.

 

I tend to draw from several researched based counseling theories, to create a personal plan to best serve your needs and goals. I will support you along the way as you process your struggles, discover new levels of resilience, and build self-confidence.  I am also passionate about counseling from a Christian perspective should you desire that. 

 

My goal is to create a safe, positive, affirming, and judgment-free environment for you to process and learn about yourself. I look forward to guiding you toward authentic change to get back on track, living a meaningful life with positive connections with those you care about. Please call me today to set up an appointment.
