I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has worked in the field of counseling for more than 25 years. My work experience ranges from working in inpatient units, partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs and private practice. I was born and raised on a farm and grew up loving nature and it's process. I went into counseling with the desire to be a positive force in the lives of others during their process of change. The definition of process is a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular outcome. Let me teach you those steps.
I love being a counselor because it allows me to witness and be a part of the transformation of an individual moving from shame to health pride, from depression to a sustained sense of peace and well being, from fear to a determination to push through their obstacles, from crippling anxiety to using coping tools that expose the thoughts that create the anxiety and other techniques that reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety. I am in the business of teaching you to see you with new eyes. Our perspective is our reality. Your choices create your reality, so learn to choose from an informed perspective.
I TEACH A BALANCED MENTAL SPACE THAT:
1. Creates a sense of well-being from a deep self acceptance
2. Rooted in active compassion towards self that promotes a gentle way to process feelings
3. Engenders the main elements of a clarity of focus and purpose
4. Inspires a hope grounded in informed choices and positive actions
5. Ignites a belief in yourself
