I trained to become a spiritual life coach in 2002. It was a wonderful experience, but I felt I needed more education. I feel that incorporating the clinical skills of a mental health counselor into my training as a life coach is the perfect formula for supporting others traveling through this journey called life. I’ve worked with seriously mentally ill adults and adults with developmental disabilities. Working with different people has helped shape me as a therapist because people are unique and each experience and path to recovery is different, so I continue to hone my craft. I am trained in CBT, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. CBT is the focus of my practice and a powerful tool because our thoughts become things. In other words, what we feel and think we deserve is usually what we focus on. My passion for helping others has shaped my practice and continues to motivate me to find creative ways to support others on their journeys to healing. I currently hold a Doctorate in Human Services and my goal is to help others live their best life.
