Are you tired of the advice to just ‘get over it”? Being present as you get through the struggle Is what I offer. I believe the human psyche is as fragile and resilient as our physical being. I am passionate about positively influencing\/educating our society to see mental health as real and not a matter of “getting over It’. Wounds to our mental health are organically part of our existence and I consider being a present, empathetic, and genuine support for those navigating mental health issues my life’s purpose.<\/p>\n
I obtained my Masters in clinical mental health counseling from Webster University in 2001. I have been licensed as a Licensed Associate Counselor since January 2022. Throughout my experience as a counselor, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations of children, adolescents, families, and adults working through day\u00adto-day Issues to serious trauma and mental illnesses. I have over 30 years of experience In the mental health field. I have worked with children, adolescents, and families In the Child Protective Services systems, Juvenile Delinquency systems, Therapeutic Foster Care, Education, and Acute Behavioral Health settings. I believe that challenges related to trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and adjustment cannot be addressed with a one-size-fits-all approach and instead utilize a person-centered approach that tailors to the specific needs of the individual.<\/p>\n
Spending time doing anything outdoors and appreciating family and friends allows me to focus on the experience rather than the accomplishments and that brings me contentment.<\/p>\n
