ABOUT

As a professional counselor…

I’m passionate about seeing people become more fulfilled and confident, and I have the educational and professional experience to help clients achieve these goals. Together, we overcome obstacles that are holding them back from deeper satisfaction and inner peace. Watching clients embrace who they are, gain self-confidence, and learn to truly love and accept themselves never gets old.

LEARN MORE

I have been a professional counselor for over 25 years, and I opened the doors to my private practice in 2006. I started my private practice at a time in my life when it didn’t make sense according to my financial situation and family life. However, I took a leap of faith and followed my own “inner voice,” as I hope to help my clients do as well. I have never once regretted boldly following my instinct and taking the risk.

It has been an amazing journey and is an example of the courage and trust in that “inner voice” that I hope my clients can experience in their own journeys.
