About Us

• I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have worked in the field for 25 years. I work with individuals, couples and families. I have extensive work with grief, trauma, adolescent issues, communication, domestic violence, co-dependency and women's issues to name a few.
  
  
  My grief specialty evolved from 7 years of hospice work with an emphasis in children's grief. I believe grief is a natural part of our life process; however, often the situations and relationships can complicate the grief process leaving individuals and families with a need for support and information.
  
  
  I have worked with many populations and in many different venues. I have worked with elementary, middle school and high school students as a school counselor, with college students at a university, with terminally ill and elderly clients in a nursing care facility and with clients of all ages and concerns within community mental health.
  
  
  I am a caring, experienced, energetic and direct counselor. I believe at some point in our lives, all individuals need support and someone to help work through life's trials and tribulations. I believe in the process of change and that support and acceptance are key to that change.
