As a licensed professional counselor I look forward to providing mental health counseling in this great community. In 2014 I followed my dream to live in Seaside full time. Teaching for over 15 years at the K-12 and college levels, earning a PhD in Cognitive Development along the way - I again returned to school to earn a MA degree in Counseling and Psychology, continuing to explore social and emotional development. With over 20 years working with individuals, families, and groups in the schools and community I have developed expertise supporting people working toward integrated wellness. When I am not outdoors enjoying the coast with my family and dog, I continue to teach education and research courses online for Northcentral University - continuing to explore social, emotional, and cognitive development in relation to learning and mental health. It doesn't get better than living in Seaside!
