About me
I am delighted to be in a place in my life where the mental health of others is primary. I am an LMHC and have been so since 1998. I believe that counselors that can help others are born with the counseling gift; and the educational curriculum and specialties are supports in accomplishing their academic needs. I say this because even as a young woman riding the city bus, strangers would sit next to me and tell me their most horrible life experiences. In other words, I was born to do what I do.
For the past several years I felt that my professional counseling days were over and in that time I completed several workshops, wrote a devotional, and looked forward to a time when I could relax and bask in a life well completed. That dream has changed as I have witnessed the world as a whole in the last several years. We are facing new and even greater challenges in our lives! (e.g., Covid-19, Mass Unemployment, Families on the brink of disaster, Mass Shootings, etc.)
I am returning to the counseling world to do my part. I see there is so much that needs to be done. I cannot rest in my gifts anymore. I am here to listen and support your emotional health. We all need that kind of support, now more than at any time I have witnessed in my years of counseling interactions.
I look forward to being of service in anyway I can. Never judging, listening, and always encouraging you to be your better-self!
I'm here for you!
