LMHC, 24 years of experience
New to Grow
I have over 25 years of experience in the mental health and substance abuse world. I recently retired from the Department of Defense and I'm ready to build a caseload. I have a lot of personal and professional experience with coping and overcoming obstacles. I can help you explore the things that are holding you down and help you make changes or accept the things that you can not change.
I will introduce myself and give you some information about goal setting then I will let you guide our journey.
I'm great at the work I do because I've lived coast to coast and worked with so many people with every issue you can imagine. I'm better now than I've ever been because I've experienced life and utilized counseling and I know it helps!
If you are a teen, I've been there, if you are an adult, I've been there, if you are a senior I've watched my parents take the journey and understand some of the changes. If you feel down, anxious, angry or bitter, I want to understand. If you are struggling with an addiction, I've worked with hundreds that have overcome the battle. If you feel alone or are in a bad relationship, I can guide you. Lastly, if you are dealing with something, I can be by your side until you can stand alone.
