I wanted to be in the counseling field since I was 17 and going through a difficult time. I saw a school Psychologist, but unfortunately I felt neither heard, seen, validated nor supported. I took this experience and pursued a career in counseling so that I could make sure my clients never experienced this.
I have worked in this field for 30+ years and truly love my job. I have worked as a medical and hospice social worker, on inpatient Behavioral Health units, in IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program), PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program), private practice and now Spring Health. I have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds, and have extensive experience treating PTSD, depression, anxiety and borderline personality disorder.
My approach is to first build a trusting therapeutic relationship with my clients so that they feel safe with me and can talk freely. Together, we will work out the best plan to reach your goals. I will guide, educate and provide you with skills that will help you navigate through challenging times.
