I began my career in education over 25 years ago and now serve as a mental health professional and professional school counselor. I value self-care, mental health, nutrition, and wellness as essential to quality of life. As a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor, certified teacher, EMDR-certified clinician, and holder of a Master of Science in Nutrition, I use a holistic approach to support physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. My counseling style is supportive, compassionate, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I draw from various therapeutic strategies, focus on your strengths, and help you use them to overcome challenges—often with warmth, empathy, and a healthy sense of humor. I’m here to help you work through what feels difficult right now in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space. Together, we can explore your thoughts and feelings, identify helpful coping skills, and practice strategies that support positive growth and well-being.
