I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist helping my clients find more congruency and peace in their lives.
You don’t have to feel this way. I can help you develop understandings about how you are responding to your world, how you are making meaning of your life and how those meanings might be causing you to feel anxious, sad, hopeless, and frustrated.

You don't have to navigate this alone.
Many people I work with, healthcare providers, veterans, and military families, carry more than others realize, often while showing up fully for everyone else. I offer a compassionate space to explore how personal history shapes present struggles with trauma, PTSD, burnout, grief, loss, and life transitions.
Using EMDR, IFS, Solution-Focused, and Contextual Therapy, I help people rebuild a sense of identity, safety, and trust. I also have deep experience in palliative and end-of-life care.

For more than 30 years, I've worked with people at every stage of healing: those carrying wounds from childhood they've never named, those who have built successful lives yet still feel something is missing, people struggling with the ravages of addiction, and others who simply know life isn't working the way they'd hoped. I understand emotional pain—and I understand the path through it. I work with individuals seeking real, meaningful, and lasting change. I've spent my career helping people discover not only why they struggle, but how lasting change becomes possible through honesty, insight, accountability, and purposeful action.

I see therapy as a self-discovery process, in which a client seeks to solve problems in a safe and positive environment under the guidance of a professional. I believe that anxiety, depression and negative stress can be resolved more effectively, when there is understanding that basic steps must be taken to first stabilize one's life then one's passion and purpose in life can be addressed to find self-fulfillment. I especially enjoy working with adolescents and adults of all ages, who are in the midst of life transitions.
