About me
I have been a practicing counselor since 1994 and enjoy working with clients from age 6-106, although I do have a particular fondness for adolescents, especially the oppositional ones. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient settings and have helped my clients navigate the "rough waters" that they must travel through. I have worked with trauma, anxiety, depression, adolescent issues, and complex mental health issues. Growing up in a military family, I also have a fondness and appreciation for our military families and the unique challenges they face.
I recognize that each client has unique strengths and we will utilize these strengths to build a "boat" that can withstand those "rough waters" of life. I can bring my 20 years of experience as a counselor and as a team, we can take the skills we both have to make meaningful and lasting change. I believe in finding the right skill for each person.
