As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have served a variety of populations with a passion for supporting law enforcement, first responders, military, medical professionals and their families. I have over 20 years of experience in service to adults and adolescents to improve their quality of life. The last 11 years were focused in supporting law enforcement, corrections, and other first responders.
