I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). I have been in counseling practice since 2000. Prior to entering the counseling profession, I was a dietitian who was working with people who had eating disorders … and found my passion for counseling to improve or achieve a healthy lifestyle was broader than eating behavior.
My counseling style is to create a nurturing and inviting environment which allows you to explore your concerns/issues. Challenging, encouraging, supporting you is my goal, as well as helping you learn new techniques and foster new perspective/strategies.
