Welcome to Lakeside Counseling, where transformative therapy begins. With over 40 years of psychiatric nursing experience, I help you uncover solutions to life’s challenges. Your mental well-being is my priority. Let’s start this journey together!
My Philosophy
At Lakeside Counseling, I believe that every individual has the capacity for growth and change. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment for patients to explore solutions and overcome personal challenges. Often, therapy is all that is needed to help a person achieve their goals.
My Story
After four decades of psychiatric nursing, I became a psychiatric nurse practitioner because I am passionate about helping people live their best lives. I have experience working with a wide range of patients with acute and chronic mental health conditions. In my spare time, I enjoy gardening, all sorts of fiber arts, and spending time outdoors. I am married to an amazing man who retired after a long career as a psychiatric social worker. Together, we have seven children and nine absolutely incredible grandchildren.
Specialties
I specialize in gender issues, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, cancer recovery support, codependency, substance abuse, and PANDAS. I am ably assisted by my constant companion Jackson, a 170 pound Great Pyrenees.
Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start.
