I promote the healthy development of children, adolescents, adults and families.

I provide Couple Therapy to help reconnect, feel close again, and move beyond repetitive arguments by getting to the deeper hurt and needs beneath the conflict. Individual Therapy for adults 21+ who are healing after emotionally harmful relationships and want to move toward healthier love, trust, and connection. This work often requires support for anxiety, depression, past emotional wounds, and the painful patterns that can make it hard to feel safe in relationships.

I believe there is power in learning to balance our lives emotionally and spiritually. I have 20-plus years as a counselor and have been able to help clients find emotional and general life balance. I draw from primary treatment modalities of Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, Solution Focused, Psychodynamic and Existential Theories. Ideally, at the conclusion of counseling, a client will be able to actively deal with their internal states in a way that allows them to feel more at peace with increased self-esteem, and well-being.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, burnout, and relationship challenges. I specialize in trauma treatment and have advanced training in EMDR, Brainspotting, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Gottman Method Level 1, and Ketamine-Assisted EMDR. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that helps clients create meaningful and lasting change.

I bring over 30 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families in education and counseling settings, and I am passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges in a supportive, practical way. I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem struggles, stress, burnout, family conflict, attachment wounds, emotional overwhelm, and people-pleasing patterns.

My goal is to create a space where clients feel comfortable being honest, understood, and supported as they work toward meaningful change. I especially enjoy helping clients strengthen boundaries, build emotional resilience, break unhealthy cycles, and move toward lives that feel more balanced and authentic.

I believe that everyone deserves a safe space to feel heard and supported. I pride myself on being a proactive advocate for my clients, ensuring that every strategy we implement is tailored to their unique long-term goals.

Therapy with me is conversational, compassionate, and grounded. We’ll take time to understand what you’ve been carrying, where patterns may be keeping you stuck, and what you need to feel steadier and more connected. Sometimes that includes learning tools to manage anxiety day-to-day, and other times it means slowing down enough to process deeper and sometimes uncomfortable experiences. There will be moments when I challenge you, but I am right beside you throughout the journey.
