About My Clients

I have enjoyed working with all ages but primarily have worked with adults and am passionate about working with adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, or other mental illnesses and helping them on their life’s journey. I work with individuals, couples or family. I also enjoy working with diverse and marginalized populations. I offer skills, tools, and resources to help those to overcome certain obstacles one may face as a sense of empowerment so you are able to move forward with life.

My Background and Approach

I have been in the mental health field for 20+ years. My work experience has included working with adolescents, teens, and adults. I have held roles within child welfare agencies, case management, and a group facilitator in a county mental health agency. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a National Certified Counselor. I have completed the Gottman Method Couples Therapy, both Level 1 and Level 2. I have been providing couples therapy for almost 4 years. I am certified in Perinatal Loss as well as Postpartum Mood and Anxiety Disorder (PMAD). I have been providing individual therapy and support for the last 4 years online/remote.
