I have over two decades of experience counseling people of all backgrounds focusing on adults over 30. My own vast life journey makes it easy for me to relate to others unique experiences. I take a personal approach, being very insightful, intuitive, and understanding as I create a trusting atmosphere. I help people live the life they want and not some watered-down version of it. I believe I have been given a gift that allows me to have compassion and a desire to help those in difficult circumstances. During college, my father developed early-onset Alzheimer’s. As a family, we never talked much about feelings. My mother, sisters, and I were devastated, but we all kept a strong outward appearance yet, when alone, the grief was gut-wrenching. At the time, I thought how wonderful it would be to talk to a psychologist about my issues, but my family did not believe in "shrinks" so I suffered in silence. At that moment, I was inspired to become a person who actually knew how to talk to individuals going through these difficult times. As time evolved, I found my niche working with adults and couples in mental health settings.
