I see counseling as a place to align the forks in the roads, where beliefs, actions and goals may have become divided. Coming alongside clients, I use CBT as a foundation then individualize my approach to meet clients where they are; to walk alongside them. While I lean towards a client driven task oriented and solution focused approach, I also use therapeutic journaling and poetry for those who wish to put pen to paper.

A National Board-Certified Teacher: Exceptional Needs, for over 25 years I have focused on people with all types of disabilities and abilities. I taught and coordinated programs in schools, universities and childcare centers. I've also honed my therapeutic techniques as an extended intern at a state prison and youth diversion assistant coordinator.
