Intro
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 36 years experience in the counseling field. My career has been focused primarily on working with adults, empowering them to explore their thoughts and feelings surrounding life's challenges and helping them create a fulfilling future. Common challenges I have successfully helped clients address include anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, substance use, chronic illness, and chronic pain, as well as building greater self-esteem, self-compassion, and confidence. I have a passion for helping older individuals meet their goals, improve the quality of their life, and feel better about who they are and the choices they are making day-to-day.
How would you describe your approach to care?
My approach is warm, collaborative, and personalized to each individual. I believe in holding space for you to feel safe, heard, supported, and encouraged on your journey. As we build a trusting relationship, we can navigate life's transitions together, helping you gain clarity, confidence, and resilience. Together, we'll work toward personal growth, emotional well-being, and a greater sense of purpose in your daily life.
What should be expected in the first session?
Our first session will be a relaxed, supportive conversation—there's no pressure to share more than you're comfortable with. We'll take the time to get to know each other, talk about how therapy works, what to expect moving forward, and begin identifying goals that feel meaningful to you. My goal is for you to feel seen, heard, and supported, knowing that you are not alone and I am here to encourage and support you every step of the way.
