You may be the person everyone relies on while quietly carrying anxiety, grief, overwhelm, ADHD challenges, caregiving stress, or self-doubt on your own. I help adults gain clarity, strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, and navigate life's transitions with greater confidence and self-compassion. With over 25 years of experience supporting people through personal and professional challenges, I offer a warm, practical, and supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

Areas of Specialization. - Coping with Depression & Anxiety - Relationships: family, friends, co-workers. Men & Women in Mid Life: - (Peri)Menopause - Empty nest - Caregiver burnout - Identity shifts - Reinvention - Adult Adoptees - ADHD / AuDHD Adults - Grief, Loss & Life Transitions - Death of Parents - Caregiving - Divorce - Retirement - Career change

If you've spent years caring for others while putting your own needs aside, it may be time to create space for yourself. Therapy can provide an opportunity to slow down, gain clarity, and move forward with greater confidence and self-compassion. I invite you to reach out for a complimentary consultation to see whether working together feels right for you.
