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.

You don't have to navigate this alone.
For many people I work with, like healthcare providers, veterans, and military families, carrying more than others realize, often while showing up fully for everyone else, can feel more tiring over time. 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.
