How did you get started in this business?
15 years ago I embarked on a career as a high school counselor; servicing young people aged 13-20 years old. Many of these interactions led me to work with families, caseworkers, law enforcement and the court system. I later moved to work for a private practice working with individuals and couples. I have helped people overcome stress related anxiety, relationship challenges, exploration of one's childhood and how it has impacted their current behaviors, thought patterns and decision making. The impact of covid-19 has led me to embark upon my own practice. We are all feeling so many emotions and changes in a rapid way; and everyone needs a place where they can feel safe.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
To engaging in counseling is a very personal decision. When making a decision to work with someone, find someone you can trust and makes you feel as if you are being heard. These are the 1st and most important steps.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Before one embarks upon the counseling process, they should ask themselves are they ready to peel back the many layers. Of the answer is yes, then being transparent and honest is the next step of the process.
