At age 50, I excitedly decided to go back to school to become a counselor after a long career in education. Why, you might ask? Because of you. I see people hurting and struggling to make sense of themselves and the world around them-and I have always been someone people come to when they need support. I have a great listening ear and a keen intuition and ability to connect. If you are struggling to manage change in your life, internal struggles, loss, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, (the list could go on), you are not alone. I have a singular goal: To help you heal and reach the goals you would like to meet for yourself.

Clarity through chaos.
A beautiful mind can still feel overwhelmed.
Many of my clients are intelligent, high-functioning, deeply self-aware people who have spent years overthinking, overextending, or quietly carrying emotional weight alone. They are often the person others rely on while privately struggling with anxiety, burnout, grief, relationship stress, or major life transitions.

Do you find yourself holding it together on the outside while feeling anxious, on edge, or emotionally exhausted underneath? Many of my clients grew up in environments where their needs weren't fully seen or supported, and those experiences show up today as anxiety, people-pleasing, shutting down, or strong emotional reactions that feel hard to control.

I believe the personal connection between therapist and client is essential to a satisfying relationship. I strive to create a warm and friendly atmosphere for my clients based on mutual respect, trust, and cooperation.

I have been honored to assist adults and teenagers through difficult life transitions and increased life satisfaction. I am a mom to two children, a high school and a college student.

Are you the strong one everyone depends on—but secretly feel like you’re falling apart?
You’re capable. Accomplished. Resilient. Whether you're a stay-at-home mom, business owner, recent graduate, or navigating an empty nest, you know how to push through and make things happen. But lately something feels off. Your private world may feel fragile, even as you continue showing up for everyone else. You’ve learned how to look “fine” on the outside while quietly carrying anxiety, shame, relationship struggles, or unresolved pain.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep doing this by yourself.
