My Story As A Professional
From Workshop to Wellbeing: A Journey of Growth
My passion for meaningful work has evolved over time. Early on, I found fulfillment in the hands-on world of design, planning, and skilled trades, particularly cabinet and carpentry. In these fields, the satisfaction of taking something imperfect and crafting it into something strong and beautiful resonated deeply. It's a philosophy that translates well to life itself.
We rarely achieve perfection on the first try, and that's okay. What truly matters is cultivating a growth mindset and a belief in our potential. This allows us to learn from missteps, overcome challenges, and continuously strive to be the best versions of ourselves.
While a desire to help others emerged years ago, it wasn't always directed towards therapy. Life, with all its richness and demands, took center stage for a time. However, the seed of wanting to contribute to human well-being remained.
Fast forward, and that seed blossomed. Fueled by a renewed passion for meaningful work, I returned to school in 2019. In 2022, I completed my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of the Cumberlands, building upon my earlier Bachelor's degree in Family and Human Development (Utah State University, 1994). This journey culminated in becoming a Licensed Associate Clinical Mental Health Counselor, currently practicing at Love Strong under the supervision of Tyler Patrick.
Just like a skilled builder, I believe in our ability to continually build ourselves anew. I'm a firm believer in human potential and the power of lifelong learning.
If you're ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and build a life worth living, I'd be honored to join you. Let's unlock your potential together.
