About Me

My passion is helping others. I have worked in the counseling field for over 15 years and often integrate nutrition and body work into my therapy. I have developed a unique approach to counseling by combining cognitive behavior therapy and nutritional supplementation.

I enjoy working with a wide variety of issues and people. I treat a lot of anxiety, burn out, relationship problems and grief/loss. I also have a lot of experience in working with Alzheimer's and other dementias, including individual and family work.

Therapy can take on many different forms. My job as a therapist is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment in which to work on personal concerns and/or relationship issues in order to facilitate change. My personality is very direct and to the point, but I am also very compassionate and caring.

I had a daughter in 2018 and twins in 2020 so I have stepped back from most individual counseling at this time. I have put together classes that teach many of the concepts that I use. You can find these and the occasional live class under the "Classes" tab.
