Hello! I'm a licensed professional counselor. That means I passed the exam and am qualified to make you all better and give out wisdom from sages of old! (tongue and cheek) I am also a certified "life coach" but I'm not sure I even know what that truly looks like in real life. What I will do is come along beside you and help identify if there is anything deeper going on that is holding you back. I can give you some direction on areas you keep struggling with. I take an integrative approach and believe there is not one magic remedy to "fix" what's going on. We'll explore mental/physical/spiritual areas and come up with a game plan.

I am trained in many therapeutic disciplines including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Critical Incident Stress Management and the list could go on. What I'm most experienced in is life. I have lived on planet earth now for 40 years and have seen and experienced lots of stuff, both good and troubling. I step around most of the potholes now, as I have learned to see them coming. Although, I still jump in the shallow ones now and again just for the fun of it. I know a lot less than what there is to know about life but everything I have I share it freely with you.

I imagine that many of you have gone down some traditional counseling and therapy routes before and might be tired of the same approach you see out there. I can sit there and listen to you and give you cues that let you know I am following with you, and honeslty I am "all in" when it comes to my time with you. Some people really do just need someone to hear them out. For others, you are tired of telling your story over and over again. You are looking for real change and maybe even some "advice." What? Did I say something I shouldn't have? I won't presume to believe I know the answers to your problems and can give you a 23 step plan to overcome, but what I will do is point you in many different directions till hopefully you find what you are looking for. I am patient and persistent. The push and pull of progress will keep you moving forward. 

I own and operate a 24/7 mobile crisis response team and we have seen the worst of the worst and know what grief and trauma look like. I have seen and worked with nearly 10,000 individuals personally and believe that all my experience has shaped me as a therapist and a human being. Need help? Want more? You know what to do.

Thank you. Extremely helpful and caring.
