I’ve worked in the mental health field for over 20 years. I’ve been a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor for 17 years. I received my Masters degree in Mental Health from Lindsey Wilson College in 2004. I’ve worked in a variety of settings including outpatient and inpatient BH. My primary specialty is working with adults with a variety of diagnoses including depression, anxiety and Bipolar Disorder. I also specialize in working with new mothers who are dealing with postpartum depression, anxiety and/or psychosis.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I like to get to know the client so I can fully understand their needs and reasons for seeking care. I will also review intake information and discuss any previous therapy completed. I also like to discuss expectations of therapy and informed consent.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I’m empathetic and a very good listener. I have years of experience working in the mental health field and have valuable knowledge to help my clients accomplish their goals.
