Therapist

I was drawn into this profession from an early age, always curious about people, what they do, how they think, how they go about solving problems or getting stuck in them. Even when we do things well, we stumble over life's hurdles. It can feel overwhelming trying to find a way out or up or back. A listening heart and a supportive hand can be a big help finding our way again. With over 40 years of experience, I have worked with a wide range of people and concerns.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I believe mental health ties to many different aspects of our lives. Many people find it difficult to ask for help and I can see the difference when people make that first step. My goal is that people do not struggle alone and I am here to help. I work with adults of all ages but really enjoy working with couples and women who experience anxiety, depression, or PTSD.
