LMHC, 15 years of experience
I am a licensed mental health counselor with a background in health care. I primarily work with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues as well as, women in transition. Prior to pursuing my calling in mental health, I worked in the healthcare field. Both disciplines have provided extensive experience and have provided global personal/professional expertise in understanding the challenges faced both physically and emotionally by my clients and how to help them progress in healthy, positive, and productive ways.
With a compassionate approach and deep understanding, I am here to support you on your journey to well-being. Let's work together to navigate your challenges and build a path to healing. Reach out—I'm here to listen and help.
My unique perspective in mental health counseling stems from a blend of personal and professional experiences. Having navigated childhood cancer, I feel I bring a profound sensitivity and empathy to understanding others' challenges. My transition into counseling later in life enriches my practice with a wealth of diverse life experiences and a deep well of resilience. Coupled with a background in healthcare, these qualities enable me to connect with and support clients on a deeply personal level. Many have found my approach both compassionate and informed.
Specialties include: Women in Transition, Building Self-Esteem, Depression, Anxiety, adjustment issues. I work with clients from ages 18 to older adults.
