(she/her)
I have been an experienced licensed professional counselor for 16 years. Providing empathy, compassion and support, is part of my fundamental belief system. Everyone has a story to tell and to be heard! I provide a non-judgmental environment for clients to feel safe and respected. My approach to mental wellness is eclectic at times, as I try to meet my client "where they are" for treatment. I have the best job in the world meeting and inspiring individuals/couples! I just received my ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP) Certification to work with adults with ADHD. I also hold a Certification in Couple Sex Therapy-Informed Professional to work with Couples experiencing Infidelity, Intimacy Repair, Sexual Performance issues for Women and Men, and Low Desire/Libido for either Women and Men.
I provide an explanation of what will occur over the first few weeks of treatment, for example, assessments to rule out depression, anxiety, or relationship trauma, so that the individual/couple can identify a treatment goal to work on in future therapy sessions. I will honor the path each couple or individual wants to take in their therapy journey. I will teach a new skill to reduce identified symptoms and then follow-up with a worksheet after the therapy session to practice. Homework is assigned and the expectation is for the homework to be completed by the next therapy session.
I am a Light Empath, a writer, content creator on Medium and Substack, a soulful nurturer, humorous, kind, and an enthusiastic guide to my clients. I am writing a Couple Therapy book for providers/clients called, "Tending the Garden of Love".
I work best with clients who are engaging, eager and are ready to work on themselves. I offer a multitude of treatment modalities for my clients to choose from to feel mentally healthy. I especially enjoy seeing a client's self-awareness come alive throughout their therapy journey. I enjoy writing about mental health topics on an online platform. My clients expect homework assignments to practice the tools we have discussed in the therapy session.

Sex Therapy
I have a Certification for Couple Sex Therapy-Informed Professionals as of September 2025. I enjoy assisting couples how to enjoy their sexual intimacy to their fullest potential.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
This is my flagship treatment modality. All mental health disorders respond well to this treatment. I am an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP).
Couples Counseling
This is one of the most satisfying treatment approaches to me. There is a dynamic energy flow between each partner which makes working on specific areas of their marriage/partnership easier to identify.
Compassion Focused
I used this treatment modality at least daily with my clients to support and provide avenues for self awareness and self worth.
