How can I help?
I’ve spent my career working with people.
My background spans therapy, teaching, supervision, program coordination, and training. I’ve supported people navigating difficult situations and the professionals responsible for helping them through those situations.
​
Those experiences have taught me a lot about what happens when emotions run high, communication breaks down, or people get stuck in patterns that aren’t working. They’ve also shaped how I approach my work today: understand what’s happening, be honest about what isn’t working, and figure out what might help.
Different roles. A common thread.
The roles have changed over the years. The work has always been about understanding people and what helps when things get hard.
Clinical Experience
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I’ve spent years working directly with people navigating anxiety, difficult emotions, relationships, conflict, and change. That work has taught me a lot about how people respond when things get hard, what keeps patterns going, and what can help shift them.
Teaching & Training
I started my career as a teacher and have continued teaching and training throughout my work in mental health. I’ve developed curriculum, led workshops, trained professionals, and facilitated train-the-trainer programs in university and clinical settings.
Leadership & Supervision
I’ve been both the person doing the day-to-day work and the person responsible for supporting and managing others. That experience has given me a grounded understanding of what can get complicated between staff, supervisors, and organizations, and what it takes to navigate those challenges well.
