Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I have proudly served as a licensed professional counselor since 1996. My journey began in community mental health, where I found great fulfillment in helping individuals. However, I was inspired to shift my focus to law enforcement, becoming a mental health professional dedicated to supporting both the community and our courageous officers. After an enriching 20-year career in a local law enforcement agency, I retired in 2019, leaving a legacy of crisis intervention and compassionate service.
Throughout my career, I have stood by individuals and families during some of their most difficult moments. I have navigated complex issues such as mental illness, addiction, domestic violence, sexual crimes, child and elder abuse or neglect, and various tragic circumstances, including natural causes, suicide, homicide, and accidents. These experiences have reinforced three powerful truths: people possess remarkable resilience, they are deeply eager to be heard, and they remain open to exploring options when a foundation of respect and trust is established. My ideal client embodies these qualities, demonstrating a readiness for growth.
I offer telehealth counseling, providing flexible options tailored to your needs. My extensive professional and personal history enables me to effectively support various individuals and families. Moreover, I have a particular passion for working with first responders, both sworn and civilian, and understanding the unique challenges they face.
If you are seeking an open-minded, culturally competent therapist who thrives on creative solutions and innovative approaches, I encourage you to reach out with your questions or interest. I welcome the opportunity to engage in challenging, complex, and meaningful discussions. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to the privilege of assisting you on your journey!
