If you’re carrying trauma, identity wounds, addiction, or relationship pain, and you’re tired of therapists smiling, nodding, and asking “How does that make you feel?”—you’re not alone. If that actually fixed anything, you wouldn’t still be searching for someone who gets it. I help you heal, not just cope. I work with people who feel stuck in the same cycles—blowing up, shutting down, or losing themselves in relationships—and want real, lasting change they can feel in daily life, not just in the therapy room.

We experience life transitions and periods of loss and grief throughout our lives. I am particularly interested helping you with the issues that we experience as we grow older and also in helping families cope with those issues that we face as our loved ones age. Caring for loved ones with aging disorders such as dementia can create chronic stress, anxiety, depression and burnout for even the most capable. You may be feeling unable to care for yourself, your own family and career. If you are feeling depleted and overwhelmed we can work collaboratively to discover a story of change, resilience, and hope.
