I came onto the counseling scene as an empty nester looking for a way to share my experience and hope with others. My approach to counseling is warm, caring and positive. I use a combination of personal experience, professional models and education to help clients learn how to reframe how they see the world and themselves. I’m here to help you achieve the goals that we set together. You are not alone in your journey. I truly enjoy working with all adults for work stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and obsessive/compulsive disorder. I am seminary-trained and if you would like can incorporate Christian counseling into our sessions. I’m also keenly aware that religion and church have been hurtful to many, so we can work through those realities as well. I also enjoy helping clients who are parenting children/adults who are part of the LGBTQIA community. I have a special fondness for helping women face the second half of their lives including parenting young adults, facing an empty nest, perimenopause, reconnecting with their partners during a time of sexual dysfunction, and looking toward what they would like to become in the future.
