I am a licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), as well as a Certified Health and Wellness Coach. I believe each of us is unique with our own perspectives and lifestyles, thus treating each other with the utmost respect, sensitivity, and compassion. It takes courage to seek out therapy to create a more fulfilling and happier life, and you taking these first steps is so commendable. I'm here to support and empower you in that journey. You are the expert of your life, I'm here to help you identify and clarify the areas that are blocking your success, and we will figure out the next steps that are a natural fit for you.
