I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience. I work with adolescents and adults enduring mental health concerns in individual, couples and family settings. I consult with schools and organizations regarding crisis response/preparations, attrition dynamics and support systems.

My clinical counseling training experiences include residential, in-patient treatment, and family-based, in-home intensive services, along with college or vocational counseling objectives.

I have had training and experience working with many different concerns, including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, anger, identity, sexual abuse/trauma, relationship issues, and parenting concerns.
