About me...

I have over 30 years of experience with working with the public, including over 25 years in management.  With this experience I have taken my work and life knowledge and combined them with a master’s degree in counseling.

​

Prior to working as a marriage and family therapist, I worked with the public and gained the valuable knowledge of treating everyone as unique individuals and not pre-judging people by their appearance or the way they talked.  I have always known I have wanted to help people and decided becoming a professional counselor was the right option.  In a clinical setting, I have effectively met a wide variety of client needs.  The largest demographics I have worked with includes adolescents, families, couples, and individual males.

​

Before joining the Center for Relational Care, I worked mainly with pre-marital and married couples and some adolescent males in a private setting.  I am certified as a Prepare and Enrich facilitator and in telemental health.
