Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I became a therapist because I believe that everyone deserves a space where they feel truly heard and supported. Many individuals struggle with feelings of isolation, often feeling like they have no one to turn to. My motivation stems from the desire to provide that safe, non-judgmental environment where clients can openly express themselves, process their emotions, and find empowerment. Seeing individuals gain clarity, develop effective coping strategies, and transform their lives drives my commitment to this work. Helping people navigate life’s challenges and witnessing their progress is deeply rewarding, and it continues to fuel my passion for therapy.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor providing services to individuals, adults, and families. I have been in this field for several years. I have worked in a variety of settings including in-home/in-community, outpatient, and supportive housing. I have experiencing working with depression, anxiety, parenting, stress management, LGBTQ and many more. I frequently utilize Person-centered theory, CBT skills, teach benefits of ‘radical acceptance’ and the benefits of living in the ‘here and now’. I am a believer in the wisdom of the ‘Serenity Prayer’.

While enlisted in the Army and while most of my experiences during that time were positive, some were very hard and resulted in (service connected) PTSD. The culture of the Army at the time - thankfully it is improving but not as quickly as it should - was to act like nothing happened, drink water, drive on, take 800mg of Ibuprofen and call it a day. That didn't work for me and when I sought help through my chain of command and even mental health professionals, I was met with a less than empathetic response. For several years I struggled to piece my life back together and to figure out what I was going to do with myself. I committed to my own process of healing and when it came time to create a new meaning for what I'd gone through, I decided that I wanted to work with others who have also survived trauma and to make sure that I wasn't meeting them with the same dismissive attitude that I got. What keeps me going and motivated is the understanding that it isn't my job to "fix" anyone. You're not broken and you don't need to exile yourself to the island of misfit toys because you might feel that way. It's just my job to hold space for people to do their own healing. I choose to believe that when someone shares their "stuff" with me and allows me to hold that space, that they are giving me access to their most closely guarded treasures. I get the honor of walking with my clients on their path towards creating a life worth showing up in. Sometimes it's rough, sometimes it's beautiful, most times it's both.

To help others overcome challenges and fulfill their full potential.

I am a Clinical Psychologist, who specializes in assessing and treating ADHD and other disorders through an integrated approach that blends psychotherapy, Neurofeedback and nutraceuticals to maximize treatment effectiveness.

I chose to become a Clinical Mental Health Counselor later in life. I had spent 20 years in Corporate America and Human Resource Consulting when I noticed a gap in therapy services. When family members were needing help we found it difficult to find a good fit. And moving from one provider to the next was complicated. So I left my work and went back to school with the intention of being a different type of counselor; one that focused on educating clients on strategies to use in their daily lives, delivered empirical-based approaches to therapy, created a space to breathe and maybe for a moment a chance to feel joy. I think about my time with clients as an opportunity to sort out one’s strengths and challenges. Then given my life and work experiences I work with a client to add resources and tools into their thinking to promote changes in how they feel and how they respond to situations. I value questions and feedback along the way and truly find joy in the “a-ha” moments of a client. For me therapy isn’t a job or a task to complete, it’s a way of living an intentional life knowing our strengths and how to manage to those when we are in need.

Your emotions are valuable clues...and sometimes they can overwhelm, frustrate, or create conflict in our lives leaving us feeling hurt, anxious, disappointed, taken for granted or lost. I can help you get to the core meaning of the clues your emotions, your body, and your relationships are giving you. It’s a difficult step to ask for help to sort things out. I believe we weren’t meant to figure life out on our own and I would be honored to be a part of your exploration to find more meaning within your life. What my clients say is that my approach immediately creates a sense of relief that “someone gets it” and starts an excitement to look at the whys and hows of what they feel so they can allow space for change.

World at Their Fingertips The children/adolescent/young adult generation, more than any other in history, has the world at their fingertips. The opportunities and experiences available to this generation are endless. What motivates me is helping individuals with enormous amounts of talent who arrive with feelings of loneliness, uncertainty, lack of self-confidence, and direction–thrive. I want to help these individuals identify their values, strengths, resources, purpose, and skills to optimize their performance and happiness. They will learn lifelong skills that are lasting and transferable to other life experiences.

I help children, adolescents, and young adults become the best versions of themselves mentally, physically, socially, and emotionally. I understand the demands and pressures placed on them and utilize a value, holistic, mindfulness, and well-being model to help them achieve psychological flexibility.

One of my passions as a therapist is helping people overcome their challenges, and improve their mental well-being. I do my best to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore their feelings and struggles without judgment. My motivation as a therapist is witnessing the progress my clients have made and that I was able to provide what they were looking for. The amount of progress clients have made continues to inspire me.

I became a therapist because I have always been drawn to the human experience and the profound impact that mental health has on overall well-being. Throughout my nursing career, I encountered many individuals facing emotional and psychological challenges, and I realized that offering compassionate, therapeutic support could make a lasting difference in their lives. The ability to help someone understand their mind, emotions, and behaviors, and to work together on strategies for healing, became a powerful motivator for me.

I became a therapist because of experiencing first hand heartache with mental health issues in my family as a child. I was curious as to how and why this happens and wanted to learn how to help. My interest in psychology has not changed since then! My high school guidance counselor's response and support of me when I was experiencing significant grief and loss as a teenager is also the reason I became a therapist.

Ut Prosim essentially means "That I May Serve." I live by this motto.
