I am a
Licensed Professional Counselor,
Spiritual Director
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Addictions Counselor III, and Registered Nurse with over 30 years of experience in hospital, public health, and psychiatric care. My path has included leadership roles at the Betty Ford Center, Focus on the Family, and faith-based psychiatric programs.
Credentials matter—and so does the heart behind them. My work is grounded in both professional training and a deeply personal journey.
Invitation to be Present
See. Hear. Remember.
My approach to counseling begins with presence—with listening deeply, gently, and without judgment. It is a joy and honor to sit with you and hold the story of your journey.
So often, the path to healing begins with being truly heard. As we work together, I’ll offer the comfort of being seen and the steady growth of trust. Together, we’ll explore your story—not to fix you, but to uncover the truth and freedom waiting to rise.
Below are some of the areas I commonly work with. While not exhaustive, these reflect my training, experience, and heartfelt interest:
