I gained my LPC in 2017. I was a teacher for 6 years and as a Guidance Counselor in elementary for 18 years. I have been a licensed counselor for 3 years. I am more experienced in working with children but enjoy working with adults of all ages. I would like to help clients reach positive healthy ways to handle life stressors and negative events that keep clients from being in a peaceful and balanced stage of life. Reaching out for help is the best thing you can do for YOU!
