I love being an encouragement to others. Every interaction is an opportunity to offer a lifeline of hope, a new juncture to build upon work that’s been started or a chance to begin again. I employ a strength-based counseling approach that utilizes integrative therapies aimed at goal attainment. As a former teacher, hospice volunteer, and current school counselor, I support clients in various life stages.
Each day, unexpected developments may leave one feeling defeated and hopeless. However, with understanding and the appropriate therapeutic approach, hope can be restored and life can have new meaning and purpose. Empathetically listening and supporting a client with useful strategies and tools is essential and one of the greatest gifts I can offer.
