Have you been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite like yourself? Perhaps you’re navigating midlife changes, shifts in identity, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, or increased stress at work or at home. You may be used to managing on your own, but lately things feel heavier or harder to carry. Have you been striving for clarity, steadiness, and a stronger sense of direction? Wanting to feel more in control of your emotions, more confident in your ability to cope, and more connected to who you are in this stage of life?
With over 30 years’ experience, I support adults navigating life transitions, emotional challenges, and feeling stuck in moving forward. I have a special interest in midlife women, including menopause-related changes, and in individuals living with chronic pain. I also treat adults with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, weight and body image concerns.
I know that therapy can feel like a big step. You may be unsure where to begin, but you know something needs to shift. I strive to create a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space where you can be heard and supported. We work collaboratively at a pace that feels right for you, to help you feel more grounded, clear, and confident about moving forward.
