Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you build the life you truly want. If you feel stuck in relationships, overwhelmed by stress, or weighed down by anxiety, you’re not alone. Therapy can help you break unhelpful patterns, build resilience, and feel more in control.
My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered. I take a compassionate but down-to-earth approach—honest, practical, and even sprinkled with humor. Together, we’ll work on communication, boundaries, identity struggles, and healing past wounds to create space for growth.

I have extensive training and decades of experience providing couples therapy. Whether you're in crisis or just need a tune-up, I can help. Infidelity, poor communication, lack of intimacy, living as roommates, recycling the same fights, and "I don't want to keep living this way" are some of the reasons people work with me. I'm a certified discernment counselor and help couples gain clarity about whether divorce or counseling is the best path. Weekend intensives are a good option for couples who want accelerated results. I also see individuals who need help with depression, anxiety, and parenting young adults who are struggling.

From the outside, things might look steady - but inside, it can feel like anxiety, pressure, or a constant sense of being “on.” Your mind keeps going. You replay conversations, second-guess yourself, or feel responsible for holding everything together. Even when things are going well, it can be hard to fully relax. I work with young adults who are thoughtful, capable, and often carrying more than they let on. If you’re feeling stuck in your head, overwhelmed, or off balance, therapy can help you slow down, feel more grounded, and start to move forward with clarity.

Are you feeling frustrated, stuck, or unhappy in your work life or relationships? Is there a deep loneliness with no one to talk to or really understand? Psychotherapy can help and heal. With over 30 years experience, I work by creating a safe, nurturing and understanding therapeutic relationship. My approach is to actively listen and work collaboratively on gaining a deeper understanding of the feelings, internal struggles, obstacles, the impact of earlier life experiences, as well as repeating patterns of behavior that may be underlying symptoms and the root cause of difficulties.

The psychotherapy I practice provides my clients with relief from feeling unhappy, with a better understanding of their unhappiness, and gives them hope for the future. To achieve these goals, I seek to develop a trusting connection by listening carefully to the experiences and feelings my clients describe; what they put into words, and what they may not have said. As both the client and I begin to explore and understand these experiences, new patterns of thought and then behavior emerge. This is how, together, we create the space for healing, and thereby new opportunities arise in their lives.

In individual therapy people experience an awakening of awareness about themselves which gives them greater agency to implement the change they seek. As a group therapy expert, people who join my group can expect an improvement in their relationships from exploring themselves in relation in the safety of my office.

My clients come to therapy with a desire to better understand themselves, their patterns, and the implicit beliefs they hold about themselves and the world. They are deep thinkers and feelers with a great appreciation for humor as part of the therapeutic process. They are often striving to become (and befriend) the best version of themselves. Together, we balance insights and perspectives with tools that guide transformation and growth.
