Therapist

I am a Board Certified Licensed Professional Counselor and have a Masters in Clinical Psychology with 20 years of experience and I'm ready to hear your story. I work with adults from college age through mid-life who are navigating a life transition, feeling stuck and finally ready for movement towards change. Some clients come in with a clear goal and a timeline. Others just need room and guidance to figure it out. I've spent many years in private practice and of late in a hospital setting as well as taught graduate courses. I bring knowledge, skills and depth with a down-to-earth relatable energy.

If you are moving through a major life transition, especially one you did not choose, you may notice that old ways of coping no longer work. Many people I see are adapting to a new chapter, trying to build skills for what is next while caring about how change will affect the people they love. Some arrive unsure about trying therapy again after a difficult experience. Together, we explore how your family of origin and earliest relationships echo in what you face today.
