Hello!
I'm so glad that you have made it this far in your search for a therapist…this isn't easy & takes courage! I know that it can be a complicated journey even though Spring Health provides bios and pictures…but I promise to make this easy on you! I am a positive, down-to-earth therapist who will support and encourage you in your efforts toward change, personal growth, emotional healing or if you just need a place to safely talk through some things going on in your life. My style is relational, conversational, and easy going. I believe trust comes when you become comfortable with your therapist and develop a safe working relationship. One of my specialties is working through trauma and grief. Also, have a heart for people struggling with depression, anxiety, faith/spiritual issues, family/relationship conflict or people wanting to lean into their own personal growth. Also, having spent 10 years contracted with the DOD (Department of Defense) in the past, I love working with in the military/veterans & their families.
I was born and raised in Minnesota, recently moving back to my husband’s hometown of Jacksonville, FL. I have been married since 1979, and we have an adult son who is married to his high school sweetheart; together for over 22 years! Also, I have a special place in my heart for rescue dogs, we adopted our sweet “Stella” 6 years ago after she was rescued from a dog fighting breeder. What joy she continues to bring into our lives! I have been a therapist for 23+ years, licensed to work in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Florida & Utah.
I would love to meet with you, so look at your schedule and grab an appointment! Let’s get started!
