I enjoy working with couples and individuals to address relationships issues, explore what is happening and to find a way forward. Often there are multiple issues going on at once and I can assist clients in prioritizing goals and identifying preferred ways of being in all areas of their lives. We can get caught up in "the problem story of self" and can't see all the other storylines we are living. I enjoy assisting clients in recognizing the other "stories of self" and finding ways to enhance these in their day to day lives. Most clients want to feel well, at peace, and experience love and joy.

I’m a seasoned therapist offering short-term, focused therapy for adults seeking thoughtful, practical support around a specific concern. I work with care and intention, typically over 6–8 sessions, supporting people who feel ready for something to shift and want help moving forward. We all go through periods of transition or uncertainty. I often work with people who have put a lot of thought into their lives, yet find themselves at a point where something needs attention—whether around retirement, health changes, relationships, boundaries, major decisions, or the more existential questions of identity, purpose, and meaning.
