Life can be challenging! I’m an inclusive counselor & have 30 years of experience working with diverse populations, including teen-agers and adults. I have worked with at-risk youth in rural Pennsylvania, juvenile offenders in Pinellas County, Florida and moms & their newborn babies. From day-to-day life struggles to self-harm and depression, I have a wide array of tools to help manage these concerns. I am down to earth and have a laid-back style. I welcome and appreciate a collaborative experience. Together we can improve coping skills and begin to enjoy life again.I work to create a safe & non-judgmental space to make it easier to open up. I firmly believe that no single approach is right for everyone therefore I am flexible regarding my therapeutic approach & prefer to let my clients lead the therapy process. This is your journey; I’m just here to walk the path with you.I teach a variety of coping skills to help manage stressors in all settings. I work hard to meet you where you are & am highly encouraging. I love celebrating the small victories as well as the big ones! I welcome anyone that wants a kind, warm & empathetic counselor to help work through past or present concerns.
