Welcome! I have been in the counseling field for over 19 years.
Working with college students is one of my areas of interest. The college years can be challenging and I help work with students at various points along their path. Whether is be adjusting to college, getting ready to graduate & look for a job, or anytime in between, let's navigate your path together.
I believe people seek counseling for several reasons. The may want to improve a life situation, solve a problem, make a decision, or achieve a greater understanding of life. Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and social issues often accompany the desire to change. I am here to help you identify and work through these challenges by finding practical solutions to them. Counseling is a joint effort, where I support and encourage your hard work, courage, and commitment to create the life you desire.
I am a friendly, compassionate & enthusiastic person. I utilize a variety of counseling techniques from an eclectic collection of theoretical orientations based on the needs and strengths. I specialize in working with individuals on various topics. Once we establish an understanding of your situation, we work together to achieve mutually agreed upon goals.
I offer counseling via telephone and video. I offer flexible office hours to fit the needs of my clients. I accept several different insurances. If you are not sure if I accept your insurance feel free to reach out to me to find out.
