About

I view the therapeutic relationship as collaborative.  Because of this, I operate as a coach throughout your process, providing you with the benefit of my education and years of experience – both professionally and personally – to help you navigate through the process.  Together, we will work to frame your version of success and work toward healing and wholeness.

 

For nearly two decades, I have dedicated my life to serving those in challenging life circumstances who needed guided support and tools to make significant changes in their lives, their marriage, or their family.  My areas of expertise are:  working with women who are on a journey of self-discovery, working with teenagers who are grappling with a myriad of challenges, and working with couples and families from a multicultural background.

 

I hold a Master of Arts degree in Counseling (Marriage, Couple, and Family).  I am also a Nationally Board Certified Counselor (NCC), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) – In Process.

 

My hope is for Providence Life Solutions to continue to be a place where people come to feel understood, encouraged, and inspired to move forward toward a life of wholeness and fulfilled purpose.
