Welcome to Hand in Hand Counseling Services

Hand In Hand Counseling Services was created to assist, support and strengthen the lives of individuals by working together to determine the problem, define the objective and the steps that are needed to successfully reach your goal. 

Counseling is a process that can reveal deeper challenges and their root causes. It can produce new revelations and a better understanding about yourself, and convert those challenges into life's lesson that you overcame.

I look forward to being part of your journey!

Founder

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health, Board Certified with the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC), who has been working with children & families in various roles for the past 13 years. Over the years I have had the opportunity to work as an Outpatient therapist, Assessment & Referral Counselor, Crises Assessor, Clinical Screener, Behavior Specialist Consultant, Mobile Therapist, Adjunct Teacher, Group Facilitator, Parent Educator, as well as leadership roles within the Human Service Field. All of my experience has provided me with an understanding for some of the challenges people face with relationships, child-rearing and different life circumstances that cause an imbalance within their emotions that impact their mind, body and spirit.

My counseling approach varies based on the need of the person and is primarily from a cognitive behavioral (thought process) perspective that is person centered and strength based, setting obtainable goals with the client to decrease the level of distress and promote emotional well-being leading to change.
