About Me

Throughout my professional journey, I've witnessed the profound challenges people face during life's most difficult moments. After spending 25 years working within the criminal justice system, I recognized a deeper calling- to not just observe those struggles, but to actively guide people through them. This realization led me to become a licensed mental health counselor, certified breathwork facilitator and Reiki Master Practitioner.

​My practice centers on accompanying adults through periods of significant transition and uncertainty. Many of clients come seeking clarity while navigating the complex terrain of midlife and beyond-that critical juncture where questions of meaning and purpose often emerge with renewed urgency. Others are processing grief, trauma, or simply feeling adrift and disconnected from themselves and others.

​

What makes my approach distinctive is the integration of traditional therapeutic modalities with holistic healing practices. I draw upon evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution- Focused Brief Therapy, while also incorporating somatic techniques, breathwork, Reiki, and specialized services like Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy and psychedelic integration. This comprehensive toolkit allows me to meet each client where they are and provided customized pathways toward healing. 

​

At the heart of my practice lies a fundamental belief: successful counseling begins with building strong, trusting relationship. Within these safe connections, clients can look deeply within themselves for answers to life's most pressing questions. I don't position myself as having all the solution-rather, I see my role as creating the conditions where clients can access their own inner wisdom and resilience. 

​

My Unique background-spanning criminal justice, academic teaching, and therapeutic practice-has shown me that even in our darkest moments, transformation is possible. I've dedicated my professional life to guiding others through that journey form uncertainty to clarity, from disconnection to meaning, and from pain to healing. This is not just what I do-it's who I am and why I'm here.
