Are you feeling stuck, anxious, or worn down by the demands of life or work? Many of my clients seek therapy during times of transition, burnout, self-doubt, or when they’ve lost connection with their sense of balance and purpose. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Employee Assistance Professional, I’m here to provide a supportive space to explore challenges with honesty, resilience, and compassion. I help clients navigate stress, life transitions, and personal struggles while honoring their identities and cultural backgrounds to invite authenticity, balance, and self-discovery.

Therapist

You may be here because something in your life feels heavy, overwhelming, or out of balance. You deserve a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly seen. My holistic approach looks at the whole person—mind, body, emotions, and spirit—so we can understand what’s happening beneath the surface and help you move forward with more clarity and ease. In our work together, I’ll give you practical tools to navigate stress, anxiety, grief, or major life transitions. We’ll focus on reframing self-defeating thoughts, building self-esteem, and practicing mindful compassion so you can feel more grounded and empowered in your daily life.

With over 30 years as a Transformational Therapist, I draw from Breathwork, Guided Imagery, Stress-Release techniques, Centering practices, Energy Work, Therapeutic Movement, and Pattern Interrupts. For those open to it, I also offer Medicine Wheel work and Sacred Card readings for deeper insight.

Clients often say they feel comforted by my warm, intuitive style—maybe helped by the calm, steady presence I’ve learned from my beloved cats. If you’re ready for gentle, supportive, whole-person healing, I’d love to work with you. You can book time with my directly through my profile on Headway or give me a call.
