Hello,
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who has been in the helping profession for over 30 years.
The journey has been both personally and professionally rewarding!
I began working in the mental health field in a Group home for emotionally disturbed youth and continued on in other areas of mental health and eventually ended as a school counselor and district level director of counseling services.
My myriad of professional experiences have equipped me with a unique set of skills, a wealth of knowledge, and clinical expertise to aid others in developing life-long wellness.
While I am a seasoned professional, I work with others with an understanding that is relatable to all and respectful of other's life journey; hence, my approach to therapy.
I believe that all others are capable to make successful progress when provided the appropriate relationship and support to make changes in their life.
I look forward to hearing from you soon!
