As an observer and encourager, I love being a counselor. I look forward each day to getting to know people and how they think and feel, then helping them discover what’s holding them back from being all that they can be, and propelling them forward to the life they envision for themselves.

As a trauma-certified substance abuse counselor, I work with individuals, families, and groups to help people get mentally and emotionally healthier, improve relationships, create the lifestyle they desire, and identify and overcome obstacles that they may not even be aware of that are holding them back.

It’s powerful to connect with others over things that make us human and imperfect and then discover the strength inside of us that makes us capable of change.
