My style balances support with practical problem-solving, helping clients gain insight while also developing strategies they can use in everyday life. Above all, I want you to feel heard, understood, and supported as we work toward your goals together.

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.
