About me
Licensed Professional Counselor Associate supervised by Charlsa Placker, MA, LPC-S. I have 15 years of experience helping people who live with chronic illnesses, disabilities, medical issues, or injuries. Also offering Emotional Support Animal evaluations and pet loss grief and end of life group and individual therapy.
Everyone needs someone they can talk to about their worries, struggles, goals, and what they want out of life. With the extra challenges of busy schedules, work stress, health issues, and family dynamics, it's hard to find that calm, safe space to be yourself. Friends and family are great, but they don't always understand, and they have their own opinions about everything. Feeling seen, heard, and understood can be especially frustrating for people with medical issues, disabilities, or who are neurodivergent. I get it, because I've dealt with this myself for years.
After growing up in a family greatly affected by chronic illness and disability and then struggling with my own mental and other health issues, I earned a MS in Rehabilitation Counseling so I can give specialized support to people who need it. I have 15 years of experience helping people with injuries, illnesses, and disabilities (including substance abuse).
Please get in touch if you'd like to talk about what you're going through. We can meet weekly, biweekly, monthly... or whatever works for you. Weekend appointments may be available upon request on a case-by-case basis.
