In a non-judgmental space, I offer to help make sense of those anxieties, emotions, and difficult relationships that weigh on your day-to-day. My approach to each client begins with diligent listening to their story to meet the person where they're at and create a therapeutic plan tailored to their needs.

Life can present us with some pretty rough terrain to navigate. My goal is to help each of my clients discover, strengthen and utilize all of their internal and external resources so they can face the challenges, as well as notice, savor and increase the good moments. Events of the last few years have pushed many people to their limits. During these particularly challenging times, I offer clients a comfortable and safe setting to increase self-awareness and implement tools to cope with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, problematic relationships, caregiver stress, and ADHD to name a few.

It takes courage to consider counseling. It is an important step to resolving issues that keep you from being your best. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed by the challenges of everyday life. You don't have to face these struggles alone. Having owned and worked on a farm, I have seen many parallels between healthy gardens and healthy minds. We need to plant seeds and thoughts that are viable for optimum growth. Once planted, we must nurture our inner garden with essential elements.

I came into the field of school psychology through my teaching career in New York City. I became fascinated with child development through my years of having conversations with children, and I wanted to learn more about how their minds worked so I could help them define their problems and begin to explore ways to help them to find solutions. I have worked with students of all ages for more than 35 years as a school psychologist, as well as a teacher of general and special education. My experience gives me a unique perspective to conduct psychological and diagnostic evaluations for students with academic and behavioral challenges.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with many years in private practice helping people with all sorts of problems in life. Because I’m older, I’ve had many of the problems that are common to us all and dealt with them successfully, including life transitions, relationship problems, weight control, career difficulties, financial challenges, weight control, and mood and emotional problems. Because I discovered an effective weight loss method, losing over 100 pounds permanently after 25 years of dieting failure, weight control has become a speciality.

Life can be hard, and it’s easy to feel disconnected, lost, overwhelmed, or off-balance as we navigate the challenges of being human. During those times, we need a safe space where we feel seen and heard, where we are encouraged to experience our emotions, where we can be ourselves. Ted Lasso reminded us to “be curious, not judgmental”. For me, that is what therapy is all about. Being present and listening, without judgment. Therapy isn’t necessarily about “fixing” something that’s “broken”. Sometimes, the work is more about awareness, insight, self-exploration, or acceptance. We get curious, we ask questions, we explore. Together.

I am passionate about helping children, families, and couples build stronger connections. I specialize in supporting parents struggling with their child's behavior and families and couples seeking greater harmony. With fifteen years of experience in the counseling profession, I work with adoption-related issues, trauma, and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, factors that significantly influence behavior, family dynamics, and parent-child relationships. I also support new mothers through prenatal and postnatal mood changes, fostering stronger bonds with their babies. I believe meaningful connections are essential to mental health.
