I believe therapy is a collaborative process where you should feel comfortable being yourself without judgement. My goal is to create a safe supportive space where you feel heard, understood and respected. We will collaborate on your treatment and at the pace that feels comfortable for you.

Life can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, our relationships, or the life we imagined. You may be carrying anxiety, grief, loneliness, or the weight of life’s many transitions. Therapy offers a place to slow down, be deeply heard, and gently reconnect with yourself. I believe healing begins in a caring, trusting relationship where you feel accepted just as you are. Together we’ll explore the patterns that have shaped your life, discover new possibilities, and help you move toward greater peace, confidence, and connection.

I bring 18 years of professional experience, along with the wisdom that comes from a lifetime of living. As an elder I hold a compassionate, curious space to help you grow into the person you are meant to be. Clients often tell me they appreciate my calm, compassionate presence and the feeling that they can simply be themselves. My role is to walk beside you with warmth, curiosity and gentle guidance.

My clients are experiencing circumstances like trauma (stemming from past/recent events), relationship concerns, stress, grief/loss, divorce, parenting, transitions in life/work, seeking intrapersonal growth, money relationship/behavior struggles and adjustment difficulties.

Licensed Professional Counselor, with a M.S. in Counseling and Psychology, certifications in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Clinical Biofeedback, Clinical Hypnotherapy, Addictions and Life Coaching. Experienced working with diverse populations in outpatient clinics, military hospitals, offices, schools, the film and media industries.

My work is grounded in developmental psychology, neuroscience, and trauma treatment. I mostly use Brainspotting in my practice because it's effective for regulation. My approach focuses on identifying and disrupting the developmental patterns driving those experiences by working with the brain and nervous system where they were formed and continue to be reinforced. Rather than teaching you how to better manage the same struggles, my goal is to help you create meaningful, lasting transformation so you can move forward with greater freedom, clarity, and confidence.
