About me

Feeling overwhelmed or defeated in your current situation? Did you come here looking for your safe place, where you can unwind and talk about your fears, heartaches, and stressors without judgement. You have found it, your safe place is right here. It does not matter what stage you are in, in your life (children, teens, adults or seniors) your feelings are important. If you are looking for guidance with Depression, Anxiety, Mood, Grief, Trauma, Parenting, Relationships, Divorce, Step and or foster parenting, Childhood/ teen behaviors please reach out to me. Prior to beginning my private practice, I spent 20 plus years working in the field, going into homes, schools and communities. I feel that my experience in the field brings a wealth of knowledge that a classroom book can never teach you. I understand that each individual is different and will never let a book label you. I want to be your support!

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am willing to work with any client, that I can connect with and seeks change. I believe that in this life, we carry a backpack filled with our struggles. If you want someone to help you unload your backpack- I am waiting here for you!

Her photo is what made me choose her, her eyes were very kind. Sitting in her room I’ve never felt judged, I’ve always felt safe and like this is the place I can speak on anything. She’s definitely done more for me than she knows.

Ruthie made me feel very comfortable. This allowed me to talk about my situations and helped me see some things that I didn’t realize was happening. I know I have things to work through and feel she can help me do this.
