My approach, as your therapist, is not only to support you through challenges but also to empower you with skills for lasting change. Together, we will collaborate to identify your goals, harness your strengths, and forge a path toward a more fulfilling life. Whether you are navigating complex emotions, life transitions, or seeking self-improvement, I am here to walk with you through your journey.
Experience
My Journey
You have come to find a counselor that you can trust with your most vulnerable experiences. You want to know that the person you choose is not only professionally trained but also has life experience. Here's a summary of some of my life experience: I have experienced loss, trauma, grief, uncertainty as well as healing and growth from an early age. I have learned to create goals and outcomes even when it went against the norm. I have children, grandchildren and have been married for 18years. I've lived in blended families and have had foster children. My education includes an AA in Early Childhood Ed, a BS in Social Sciences and an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Throughout my life I have been an advocate for children, families and animals in which I currently have 30 rescue animals both small and large. I have been a teacher for over 24 years primarily with young children but also High School and Adults. I have been a fitness instructor for 14 years and a therapist for 12 years. All of my experience has led me to where I am today; helping people better their lives through self-determination on the journey to finding healing & change.
Faith Based Therapy
If you are looking for a therapist that will honor your Faith based journey to healing, who will guide you based on your beliefs and who will help you connect your current or past concerns / challenges to your faith, I can help you do that through Christian counseling. I do not offer pastoral counseling only counseling that helps you follow your own journey that aligns with your faith.
Vegan BasedTherapy
Whether you have established a complete plant based or vegan lifestyle or you are considering a vegan diet for health or personal reasons, connecting with a therapist that understands the challenges and benefits is an important piece in the healing process. I have over 20 years experience, in my life journey, that have been dedicated to compassion, wellness and change.
Sometimes we are faced with changes in diet due to health concerns. Other times one learns of alternative food choices that promotes new ways of looking at how food affects our sense of self and overall well-being which then can bring challenges in other areas of life.
Regardless of how you came to find yourself looking for someone who will support your journey around food and wellness and the obstacles that come with the changes, it is important to find someone who will listen to your needs and offer guidance rather than judgement.
It is possible that along this journey, you have found yourself experiencing anxiety, depression or a host of other symptoms. This can be caused by many different influences, but you are finding it hard to express this to others because of rejection, disbelief or ridicule. I will offer you a space to express yourself without restricting your ability to fully communicate what is on your mind.
Regardless of whether you are vegan for health or for animals, you deserve an opportunity to freely talk about what is concerning you, how that concern is affecting you and what you would like to see for yourself moving forward.
As a licensed professional counselor, it is my joy to work with all people no matter where you find yourself in life. I practice kindness, professionalism and integrity with each client and I am always available to help in the way that honors your journey.
