Greetings! Whether continuing therapy or trying it for the first time, I work to create a judgement-free, open, and safe environment for you to be authentic and to explore the struggles that bring you in. I believe no issue is insignificant and through the use of empathy, collaboration, and empowerment, we will journey through growth and healing together. I provide support by actively listening to your experiences and offering a space for ambiguity, direct feedback, reflection, and skill development that will allow you to work toward living the kind of life you want and becoming the version of yourself you want to be.

When we are able to truly understand ourselves and our relationships, we can build a life of genuine meaning and connection. Many people enter into therapy only to find themselves gaining small amounts of insight that produce little or no changes in their life. My therapeutic methods produce results that not only change the way we feel about ourselves in the world but change our behaviors. I am respectful of the fact that everyone's pace and tolerance to different interventions varies. My work is reflective of the care and respect I have for each and every client as individuals.

A cancer diagnosis turns your life upside down. Your days are filled with appointments, scans, and
constant “what if” thoughts that never fully quiet. Anxiety spikes before test results, even when things
seem stable. Caregivers carry their own exhaustion, trying to stay strong while holding fear and grief
inside. Relationships feel strained as roles shift and emotions run high. Even after treatment ends, the
worry often lingers, leaving you on edge instead of relieved. Beneath it all is a deep longing to feel
steadier, less alone, and able to face the uncertainty instead of being consumed by it. It’s time to get
extra support

I believe that psychotherapy can help people create more psychological space in which to live by developing a new perspective on the difficulties they face in their lives. My goal is to help people embrace their potential to live a full and satisfying life, despite the challenges they face. I have over 25 years of experience in helping individuals with a wide variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, substance use disorders and health-related conditions. I am sensitive to individual differences related to factors such as culture, race, gender, age, sexual orientation, religious tradition, environment, and military experience.

I believe that times of crisis can also be times of transition and development. As a therapist, I strive to help clients put family and individual crises in the proper perspective, so they can begin to mobilize their own resources for change. Acceptance and insight into oneself and one's situation are powerful tools that therapy can enhance, both for adults and children of all ages. I have years of therapy experience helping clients cope with painful and difficult situations, including addiction/compulsions, damaged relationships, bereavement/loss, and abuse. The first session can be a powerful and positive step.

Mainstream psychiatry and psychology tend to reduce mental health “symptoms” to problems with brain chemistry and dysfunctional cognitive processes. These explanations do little to help people find meaning in their suffering because they do not capture the complexity of the human experience and of the soul. Though undoubtedly painful, I believe these “symptoms” are often a summons from our souls to turn inward, where the real journey begins and where lasting transformation is possible. The first step is to recognize this summons for what it is. The next step is to have the courage to answer it. This is where I can help.
