I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

I’m very direct but kind. I have 30+ years of experience and can quickly assess key problem areas. I’m ready to get to work but also respect the pacing each person requires. I am intuitive and this has a positive impact on my clients as most feel that I understand them and their problems.

Life has a way of presenting challenges that can leave us feeling uncertain, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from who we want to be. Therapy offers an opportunity to slow down, gain clarity, and create meaningful change. I believe every person has the ability to grow, adapt, and overcome obstacles, and I consider it a privilege to support clients as they move toward greater confidence and emotional well-being. Since entering the mental health field, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem concerns, relationship difficulties, behavioral challenges, and major life transitions. Whether you're facing a recent hardship or have been carrying emotional burdens for years, my goal is to help you better understand yourself while developing practical tools to navigate life's challenges. I view counseling as a partnership built on trust, curiosity, and respect. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, I work collaboratively with clients to explore the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that influence how they think, feel, and respond to life's circumstances. Together, we will identify realistic goals and celebrate progress, no matter how small. My therapeutic style is encouraging, thoughtful, and solution-oriented. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, strengths-based counseling, and trauma-informed practices to create an individualized approach that meets your specific needs and goals. I don't believe therapy is about having all the answers. It's about discovering new perspectives, building healthier habits, and learning to approach life's challenges with greater resilience and self-compassion. My hope is that our work together leaves you feeling more empowered, more self-aware, and better equipped to handle whatever comes your way.

Life can bring unexpected challenges that leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure about what comes next. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, self-esteem, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to face it alone. I believe healing happens when you have a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment.

One of my favorite quotes is: "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." To me, life is a journey. There will be many bumps, bruises, and obstacles along the way. That's okay. It's how you overcome those hurdles that count. Some need more assistance than others on this journey, and that's okay too. My approach is to promote healing and personal growth and development along this journey called life. I do not claim to have all of the answers. I believe that everyone is the expert of their own lives. My role is to assist you with getting out of your own way and discovering the path that you want to follow.

Life can be challenging, and sometimes we all need a safe space to pause, reflect, and rediscover our strengths.

I integrate evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, reality therapy, strengths-based interventions, and trauma-informed care. Every treatment plan is individualized because there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing.

I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist, and I want to get to know you as a whole person and in the context of your relationships, your interests, how you make a living, and your beliefs.
