With over forty-five years of experience, I have worked with a wide range of people, from young adults navigating early adulthood to older individuals managing major transitions. I support clients with relationship issues, affective disorders, addiction, work-life balance, vocational challenges, and complex problems that come with being human. My continuing education across these areas gives me knowledge, while my outgoing, active, and engaging style brings enthusiasm to every session. I show up fully, and I expect us to do real work together.

Therapist

Welcome. Seeking support can feel difficult, especially when you're managing overwhelming emotions, relationship stress, painful experiences, or simply feeling disconnected from the life you want to live. I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, PTSD, women's issues, and challenges related to self-esteem, life transitions, and relationships. I understand that healing looks different for everyone, and I believe therapy should provide a space where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely understood. Whether you're struggling with day-to-day stress, navigating the impact of past experiences, or trying to make sense of difficult emotions, my goal is to help you gain insight, strengthen coping skills, and build a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. Together, we can create meaningful change while honoring your unique experiences, strengths, and goals.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family dynamics, and life transitions. Many of my clients feel stuck in patterns they understand logically but struggle to change. This might look like overthinking, self-doubt, difficulty setting boundaries, or repeating the same patterns in relationships. I help clients understand the “why” behind their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing the insight and tools needed to create meaningful change. My goal is to help you feel more confident in yourself, build healthier relationships, and create a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
