About Me

I am a student of life, a mother, a wife, a veteran, a person with dreams and goals. My current occupation is professional counselor and I am known to my friends as a “Jane of all things” when not in the office.  I have have been a soldier, a mechanic, a teacher, and many other things. I have a deep love for books, photography, and personal technology.

Astute Unruly Me is how my brain works. With in moments, I can have perfect insight and then become completely unglued.

This blog is a place to discuss, dissect, and modify the image of who a counselor is both personally and professionally. Do we do all the stuff we suggest?

This started with the intention of writing about what it is like to be a professional counselor outside of the office. In school we are told to appear to have your life together for an hour at a time. We know that in that hour we are to be models for our clients. What happens outside of the office hours? How do we handle life when we are smacked in the face?

This is the struggle of attempting to be the people our clients think we are and how I deal with it personally.

Thanks for stopping by.
