About

Everyone has challenges in life that can cause turmoil and stress. Whether it's with your relationship or family, it can be hard when things don't feel right or are unsettling. The stress builds until you finally feel ready to talk to someone. That's where I can step in and help you work through the issues, and support you in a compassionate manner to help you find your way toward more fulfilling relationships and a satisfying life. Most clients have found that seeing a therapist has made the difference they needed. I have extensive experience and training to come alongside you in your journey.

I find the best-suited therapy to meet your unique needs, drawing on a mix of tools---cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and stress management approaches. I believe that collaboration and empathy are key, as well as gently challenging you to towards personal growth.

I have over 27 years of experience as a clinician, specializing in treating grief, anxiety, depression, marriage struggles, and challenging life transitions. Drawing upon your strengths, evidence-based interventions and practice wisdom, I will partner with you in an active, safe, non-judgmental manner.
