My desire is to help people find hope, healing and joy. I believe that everyone can benefit from a safe and encouraging environment and I work to come alongside individuals, couples and families to offer support, care and guidance.

I also love working with women's issues, couples and families. I have expert experience working with Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder and Eating Disorders.

At some point we all struggle to adjustment to life's changes; it's normal to feel stuck and I believe people have what it takes to adjust. For the past 20 years, I have been working with children and teens who are struggling to balance the demands of school and their social life. I integrate parents in my work as much as possible. I also work with adults and Couples often come to me for help in distress and are confused about how or why their relationship has derailed. I am dedicated to helping people build stronger; more intimate relationships and I use several modalities when attempting to help couples in distress.

You’ve been through a lot—trauma, addiction, family chaos, or just years of keeping it all together while unraveling underneath. Maybe you’re a first responder, a parent, a high achiever, or someone who’s done enough surface-level work to know it doesn’t stick. You want truth over platitudes, depth over coping skills, and a therapist who can handle whatever you bring into the room. You want lasting change, not just symptom management. You’re not looking for a savior—you’re looking for a real, grounded ally. That’s what I offer.
