I genuinely care about the people I work with. I became a therapist later in life to give back after my own healing journey transformed me and my marriage. Clients describe me as compassionate but direct. I will go in the trenches with you, hold your hand, address what’s keeping you stuck, and help you create real, lasting change. My greatest reward is seeing clients step out of survival mode and into self-trust, peace, and connection.

I specialize in working with individuals navigating major life transitions and those experiencing anxiety, burnout, or relational stress.
