My passion for being a counselor stems from my belief in each person’s innate capacity for healthy growth and change. I have had the privilege of assisting children, families, teens, and adults transform their lives by reclaiming their sense of self and reaching their goals for three decades as a counselor and teacher.
In order to effectively assist clients in reaching their goals, I utilize a variety of evidence-based practices to best suit the needs of each individual client, honoring each person’s culture and preferences. I specialize in Solution Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Nature-Based Therapy, and Wellness Therapy. I am the owner of Moving Forward Counseling services
In addition to counseling, I also teach clinical mental health graduate students at a local institution of higher education. I participate in a plethora of professional organizations. Finally, I am physically active in the outdoors. I enjoy running, hiking, walking, bilking, kayaking, cross country and downhill skiing. Come explore the outdoors with me and rejuvenate your body, mind, and spirit.
