Saturday & Sunday Teletherapy. Heal from home. Do you look "fine" on the outside but feel tired, numb, or stuck on the inside? Do you stay busy just to avoid feeling? If you're a trauma survivor, a woman healing from a hard childhood or relationship, or someone worn out from overthinking, anxiety, or family stress, you're not alone. Many people come to us after talk therapy didn't quite get to the root of things. They're tired of just surviving and ready to feel like themselves again. What you've been through matters, and healing is possible. You don't need it all figured out - just bring yourself, and we'll take it from there.

I have been working in the mental health field for over 40 years. I started working in mental health facilities in my early 20's while I was in college. I have worked with adults and adolescents in all kinds of modalities, yet I seemed to focus more toward young people and their families with substance abuse problems and anxiety. Some of that stems from having to deal with my own addictions in my late teens and finally getting clean and sober at age 20. Thus, I understand what it is like to be overwhelmed by addiction and the need to engage in a recovery process.

Do you feel a kind of loneliness that’s hard to name? Not the kind that fades with company, but a quieter sense that you move through life unseen, as if no one truly recognizes who you are. Maybe you’ve felt this way for a long time. Perhaps you’ve asked yourself: Is something wrong with me? Or is the world not built for someone like me? I work with people who experience chronic loneliness that often has nothing to do with social skills or anxiety, but with how they think, feel, relate, and seek meaning. My work supports those navigating identity, belonging, emotional honesty, and inner transformation.

You’re the one everyone relies on. You handle things. You keep it together. But lately you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or quietly wondering how long you can keep carrying it all. I help thoughtful, high-functioning adults who feel stuck in burnout, relationship stress, or major life transitions find clarity, boundaries, and relief. I also help clients work on accepting all parts of themselves as I believe self growth is rooted in self compassion and acceptance rather than fixing. Clients often describe therapy with me as supportive, structured, and practical, helping them gain clarity, confidence, and skills they can use.
