I want you to know that my role is to support you with compassion, respect, and evidence‐based care. I take the time to listen closely so I can understand what you’re experiencing and what matters most to you. My approach is collaborative—I believe treatment works best when we make decisions together. I’m here to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly and feel heard. My goal is to help you move toward stability, confidence, and a better quality of life.

I am an experienced and caring therapist with Ph.D. and LCSW certification. I view therapy as a partnership between client and therapist. I work with individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and difficulties with interpersonal relationships. Additionally, I have broad expertise in emotionally focused couples therapy, sex therapy and family therapy. I have helped clients from many different cultural backgrounds.

I support mutual respect and open communication in therapy. I begin by listening and understanding your situation. Together we work on a personalized treatment plan shaped to reach your goals.

I've spent the last 14 years walking alongside people through some of the tender, complicated seasons of life, like navigating depression and anxiety, managing overwhelming stress, working through relationship struggles, or figuring out career transitions. I care deeply about the people I work with, and I bring warmth, honesty, and a genuine curiosity about who you are to every session. When I'm not in the therapy room, you'll usually find me outside gardening or getting my steps in around the neighborhood.

Are you feeling worried, depressed, or just feeling lonely, lost, exhausted, and tired of the everyday routine and desiring more in life? As humans big or small, we all go through challenging times, we all experience sadness, worry, and stress. However, there are times that we might feel too stuck, too lost, and too overwhelmed to do anything. Life doesn’t have to stay this way. I can help you turn things around and move toward living your absolute best life ever!

When life changes, you need someone who’s lived it too.

I help adults navigating major life transitions — including divorce, grey divorce, identity shifts, dating and relationship challenges. Together we find clarity, steadiness, and a grounded sense of self again.

Life can shift in ways you never expected. I understand the disorientation that comes with midlife change, including divorce, evolving relationships, and moments where you suddenly wonder how you got here. I do this work because no one should have to sort through those moments alone.

I’ve rebuilt my identity, navigated changing relationships, and learned how to move forward when everything felt uncertain.

I am a dedicated professional committed to helping clients achieve their goals through personalized support and evidence-based approaches. My focus is on creating a comfortable, respectful, and supportive environment where clients feel heard. All are welcome and understood.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen without having to over-explain yourself. My role is to help you reconnect with your strengths, deepen your relationships, and move through life with greater self-trust and ease.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Masters in Mental Health Counseling. I bring several years of experience supporting individuals through a variety of mental health challenges. My background includes working in community mental health agencies, hospitals and most recently, the public school system.
