I am a dedicated professional counselor and educator with 24 years of experience in education and working with teens. Passionate about fostering growth and development, I have spent my career guiding young people through the challenges of adolescence, helping them build resilience, self-awareness, and emotional well-being.

In addition to my professional expertise, I am an avid outdoor enthusiast who enjoys spending quality time with my husband and two children. I believe that nature provides a unique setting for personal reflection and growth, which I incorporate into my counseling practice whenever possible.

I hold a deep belief that counseling is a crucial component of personal development. I am committed to providing a supportive and understanding environment where teens can explore their thoughts and feelings, develop coping strategies, and achieve their full potential.

Through a compassionate approach and extensive experience, I hope to make a positive impact on the lives of young individuals as they navigate the rough waters of adolescence and all that it brings.

Your teen can expect us to spend the first visit discussing interests and sharing a safe space for growth. I often take walks with a client because it can be intimidating to sit across from an adult you do not know. It is my goal to help your teen feel comfortable, seen, heard and safe.
