I believe in meeting each client where they are at. I enjoy working with clients of all age ranges. We work together in creating a safe, non-judgmental and therapeutic space to help support you in your individual needs. I value and prioritize building a trusting, empathetic, and collaborative relationship as the foundation for the work we do. I believe each person is unique and deserves unique support to help heal, overcome challenges, build connections, and grow as a person.

Life can change in an instant, and not always for the better. After a trauma it can be hard to sleep, concentrate, or feel safe, even after the danger has passed. Some people wonder if they will ever be able to have a day without thinking about what happened.

No two people are the same. Therefore, I strive to provide treatment that fits each person’s unique needs and goals. I work to foster a partnership with each individual that respects their own problem-solving style while providing additional tools to address unmet needs. I believe that everyone has strengths and challenges. Our work together can fortify those strengths while mitigating challenges to reduce stress and suffering in daily life.

Hello and Welcome. I bring to my practice a curiosity about who you are including what gives your life meaning and what are your sources of pain. I see myself as a partner in your journey towards wellness and living the life that you want to lead. As a therapist I particularly enjoy working with people who are contemplating behavior change, considering courageous life transitions, and supporting my clients in cultivating healthy relationships and setting boundaries.

My goal as a therapist is to help clients walk through obstacles in life by following one's own compass. The last few years have been changing beyond our control. The pandemic has challenged us in many ways. Reaching out for help is a big step. Whether it be relationship issues, food or substance addiction, isolation, ageing, grief, loss of person/pet, anxiety/depression or other life challenges. I would be happy to talk with you, help you create a plan with goals that are attainable and achievable for you. I am seeing clients on telehealth and in the office.

Welcome to my practice. It is important to find a comfortable place to create the changes you want in your life. I provide compassion, empathy, and openness to help create a trusting therapeutic relationship to assist in your healing process. You are the authority of your life, through collaboration I can help assist you in becoming the person you want to be.

You are accepted! Messages from our culture teach us that we do not quite measure up. We live in a sea of self doubt while life stress creeps in as the norm. Life is hard and sometimes we feel like there are few sign posts to guide us. We can feel alone on life's journey. As a counselor, I join you to find your sense of self and purpose and help unburden what weighs you down. "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." Angelou
