Starting therapy can feel scary, so let me try to ease your mind. My role as your therapist is not to “analyze” you. I am here to help you better understand yourself, your strengths and what might be holding you back. Our time together should feel like a break from the noise of life, a time for you to just be yourself. You can share as much or as little as you want, and I never push clients to go where they aren’t ready to go. The focus and pace of therapy is up to you! 

Over 20 years ago, I earned a Psychology degree from Indiana University Kokomo and went to work in the field right away. A few years later, I went on to earn a Masters in Social Work from Andrews University. After 2 years under direct supervision, I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. For 16 years, I worked as a school social worker and gained many skills and a deep respect for educators. The past 5 years, I have also been here, at The Good Life, located on beautiful Lake Manitou.
