Working over the past 25 years as a counselor, I have a relaxed, open-minded, positive, and collaborative counseling style while also being action-oriented. I am passionate about empowering others to help them manage and overcome obstacles. Our journey together can consist of but is not limited to energy psychology, improving communication and/or applying conflict resolution skills, reframing situations, and redefining norms in a safe, secure, and non-judgmental space. It is truly a privilege to provide support and guidance for people during challenging times.

I became a mental health professional because I enjoy working with others. I want to be able to offer cutting edge modalities and opportunities to help foster growth, helping others to become the best version of themselves!
I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, volunteering in the community, and exercising.
I maintain a positive outlook, eat well, reframe situations, keep organized and have a healthy balance between family and work.
Sports booster clubs and the SPCA are my favorite organizations. I enjoy volunteering on booster clubs to help foster and promote athletic teams. As for the SPCA, I love giving back to their organization so that they have the funds to do what is in the best interest of their furbabies and staff.
I recharge by eating well, drinking plenty of water, having intentional goals for my day, keeping a good routine, being in the moment, having quiet time, getting outdoors, spending time with family and friends and going on vacation.
I have three pets and we were originally only going to adopt a cat and a dog. When we found out that the kitties were brothers, we did not want to separate them. So, in one day, we adopted 3 animals, a dog and two cats and their adopted names before coming to us all started with "E", so it was meant to be!
