After 25 years in the mental health field as a student, counselor and psychologist I have come to the point in the journey that I realize we are all searching; searching for answers, comfort and a sense of belonging. My written work, The Normalcy Fallacy, is the culmination of observed (and fictionalized to preserve confidentiality) stories, collected resources from other professionals and challenge questions that I designed to lead us away from pathologizing our human experience and embracing the ideal world where "normal" is simply that which is healthy, safe and loving. As I move away from the clinical work of diagnosis and treatment, I look to embrace the paradigm shift of seeing us all as in need of acceptance, love and healing. My educational and clinical background includes undergraduate work in psychology and education, graduate work in counseling and a doctorate in clinical psychology. I have multiple clinical licenses in two states however, continue to see the value in moving beyond the confines of pathology and diagnosis to the deeper work of self awareness, self healing and deep respect for intuition and self awareness. This movement toward coaching and consultation seeks to reach into those spaces beyond our illness and into our strengths. I will meet you where you are and together we can do the deeper work of self exploration, acceptance, healing and thriving.
