Hello, I am a retired educator who served for 30 years, with over 17 years as a school counselor, working with families and individual students from 4 years of age to 18 years old. I worked with students setting goals, problem solving, as well as, working to manage anger and grief. I also assisted many parents in finding more effective tools in behavior management systems at home and was able to help parents and adolescents find better tools to communicate with each other throughout my career as a school counselor. As retirement drew near, I received my LPC and went into the private sector and began working mainly with individuals who experienced trauma, through a non-profit organization. I have a passion working with individuals and families and assisting them in finding their way through difficult situations in life. I especially love assisting parents with difficulties with children in the school setting and then later assisting trauma victims in regaining their power and strength through some of the darkest days. I understand what it is like to grieve and hurt when people you trust the most in the world, break your trust and finding your way out of that dark tunnel is difficult, but possible. My goal as a therapist is always to assist my clients in becoming a stronger individual and knowing that they are always stronger and better because of and In-spite of what they have been through, because they are Survivors!

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

In our first session, we will get to know a little bit about each other and what brought you to the decision to seek out counseling; we will then look at your goals and challenges. This will help in creating a tailored plan for working together in follow -up sessions.

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

I believe my caring heart and understanding of difficulties in life is one of my biggest strengths. We all have baggage we carry around, and I believe that the difficulties I have faced in my life have led me here to help others get through the difficult times that surround them at different stages in their lives.
