Welcome to Life Quest! I founded my counseling service to put my passion for helping others into practice. Today, I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve positive changes and live their best, most fulfilling lives.
My job in the financial services industry ended shortly after our son was born. His unique needs and developmental challenges shaped our life in ways we could have never anticipated. As parents to both our children, we learned too many life lessons to count, and are eternally grateful for countless joyful experiences, but also have learned to embrace the painful ones too…finding meaning and growth in the difficult times. I have been happily married for 38 years, enjoy the privilege of motherhood, and have experienced profound personal grief in the loss of a child.
My personal life journey lends empathy and understanding to my clients on a deep level. These personal experiences, along with my 27 years’ professional experience in Mental Health Services, have contributed to clinical skills and compassion that together, allow me to provide effective and meaningful counseling services that help my clients work through their most difficult times and live their best lives.
​
I utilize evidence-based clinical approaches including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Solution-Focused, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gestalt Therapy among others. I have advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, a highly effective and widely utilized form of trauma therapy. I also have advanced training in grief and loss and traumatic grief, and am a certified, Compassionate Bereavement Counselor through the Miss Foundation.
I will support you on your journey to create positive change in your life. I build upon your individual strengths and resilience while providing a safe and non-judgmental atmosphere for you to begin the process of healing, growing and living your best life.
