Having double majored; in PSYCHOLOGY, and HUMAN SEXUALITY, then earning a Masters of Social Work degree with the concentration of INTERPERSONAL PRACTICE, I thrive on getting to know my clients, really getting an in depth feel for their life from their perspective, engaging with them in the current realm of their situation and helping them to figure out their own path to overcoming obstacles, making decisions they need for their best life, and respecting their uniqueness and various strengths and weaknesses within the safe context of a counseling relationship. Every person is appreciated and esteemed because they are special in their own right.

At various times throughout my career I have aided attorneys in jury selection, gone to work- sights to provide in house training for administration, and done public speaking on a variety of mental health and spiritual health topics in the community, in school settings for both staff and students, and church settings.
