Therapist

Something brought you here today. With 25 years working alongside people in community mental health settings, I have learned that deciding to start therapy takes

real courage. My work begins where you are, not where someone thinks you should be. Whether you are carrying anxiety, grief, relationship strain, the weight of life transitions, or simply wondering if things could feel different, I want to hear your whole story before we figure out the path forward. Everyone has their own, and we will find yours together.
