Fall is a great time to start therapy!

As summer comes to an end, we resume a more normal schedule and routine. We also know that the change of seasons can mean a change of mood and outlook on life.

The end of summer means we are saying goodbye to the carefree, relaxed and long days of summer. We begin to anticipate increased demands from work, more responsibilities, family commitments, and an awareness that the days are getting shorter.

It is no surprise that a change of seasons for some people can mean a slump in people’s moods. Life stressors become harder to ignore and relationship strains can increase when responsibilities weigh us down.

Autumn for many can also be a time of reflection as we look at our goals. It allows us to ask ourselves hard questions - questions that may bring about uncomfortable feelings. It also empowers us to make changes in our lives.

If you want a dedicated place where you can go to discuss how you are feeling, this might be the perfect time to start or restart therapy.

I am excited to announce that I will be starting a new chapter in my professional career. I will be phasing into full-time counseling practice and accepting a limited number of clients over the next few months!

I believe that holistic healing happens in relationships. Our relationship with ourselves & others shapes how we think, feel, and act. Counseling provides the space to explore big issues & develop tools to grow & find joy. We will spend time understanding conflicts, examine past stories & behavior patterns to develop a road map for future success.

I have practiced social work for the past 25 years - spending the past 18 years as a Medical Social Worker in a hospital setting. I moved to Washington from Michigan 6 years ago & have worked at Skagit Regional Health counseling patients & their families in crisis: medical crisis, mental health crisis, patients struggling with addiction, traumatized by accidents, violence, abuse, & neglect. During my career, I have had the opportunity to walk beside people as they took amazing steps into healing & growth. These experiences have shaped who I am as a counselor in my own practice & equipped me to step into difficult spaces with the goal to empower growth & create space to heal.

I graduated from Calvin University with a Bachelors of Social Work in 1996 & obtained a Masters of Social Work from Western Michigan University in 2006. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the State of Washington.

I live in Mount Vernon with my husband Mike; we have been happily married for 25 years. We have three adult children who are becoming more independent every day. I know my role as a parent is changing from “mom” to mentor as they find their way in the world & I love watching them grow.

My husband & I love adventures & travel & are always looking for new places to explore. We love to spend time in nature, eat great food, and connect with people.

More than anything, I love people. I am compassionate, a good listener who has been described as wise. I welcome people with hospitality that allows them to show up as they are, without judgment, because that is how I love to be treated too.
