Are you feeling constantly stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck in anxious thoughts—despite appearing successful on the outside? Perhaps you find yourself battling perfectionism, people-pleasing, or relentless self-doubt. If you’ve ever wondered why life feels so hard, or why you never quite feel “enough,” I invite you to discover a new way forward. I specialize in helping high-achieving adults navigate anxiety, stress, ADHD, relationship challenges, and decision fatigue. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free sanctuary where you can openly explore your emotions, break unhelpful patterns, and reconnect with your authentic self.

Perhaps you’re here looking for a therapist here because someone told you, whether warmly or angrily: “You should get some help!” What you probably heard - and what they may have meant - was: you need to change. Unlike many, I don’t believe people need to change. The way I see it and how I work is to show my clients how to expand themselves - by adding in more useful and productive ways to think and act than they’ve done before. This results in my clients actually feeling better and functioning better. I work in a respectful and growth-filled manner, sometimes suggesting to my clients questions to elicit their self-knowledge.

If you are reading this, I can only assume that you have been thinking about starting therapy for a while, but keep putting it off. The hardest part is making that first phone call. It requires us to acknowledge that our life is not where we wanted it to be.

It is difficult to ask for help and even more difficult to chose a psychologist. This is especially true if you are in crisis, having difficulty coping, worried about a loved one or struggling with a low mood or anxiety. I've had 40 years of experience working with people. It is an adventure getting to know a new client and rewarding to watch them become happier, more effective and improve their life.

Are your existing coping skills not feeling effective enough? Do you feel overwhelmed often? You might be thriving in some aspects of your life, but feeling unhappy or unfulfilled in other areas. Well, you're not alone. We all struggle with some level of anxiety, stress, burnout, and other difficult feeling states. It's part of being human in this very complex and demanding culture that we live in today. With so many things "to-do," goals to accomplish, and people to please, it's easy to feel disconnected from what truly matters and brings meaning to life. Living on an autopilot survival loop. Can you relate?

I believe in the strength that lies within all of us. Therapist and client begin a collaborative journey to find that strength. This journey takes us on a search of solutions to painful and problematic situations. My belief is the foundation from which I develop a therapeutic relationship with my clients. Together, we utilize our creativity to reshape, redefine, and develop a renewed sense of hope, purpose, and inner strength. I help my clients to understand, persevere, endure, and, ultimately, reclaim their will and sense of purpose. I help people find solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems.

In life, we sometimes find ourselves in dark and lonely tunnels, with no end in sight. I want you to know that there is hope, and I am here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing. As a nurse who came to the therapy field through an unconventional path, I believe that some of the most profound healing experiences are not physical but psychological and relational. While physical healing relates to our body’s functioning, psychological and relational healing touches the very core of our identity, satisfaction, and fulfillment in life. Even if my body is broken, my spirit can still thrive with satisfaction and fulfillment.
