Hello, and firstly, kudos to you for taking the first steps (or more if returning to therapy) on reaching out for support! Whether it is part of your self-journey, or to connect with your family, partner, or spouse, it takes courage, vulnerability, and commitment to ask for help. This is especially true within the chaos of our lives and the social pressures to put on the multiple hats (Parent, Partner, Child, etc.) that we wear. Therapy for me is about caring for the human facing me, and offering the space where we can collaborate together to find your lost stories, while respecting each persons authentic experience of life.

When anxiety keeps you spinning, depression drains your energy, or mood swings leave you feeling like a stranger to yourself, it can be hard to trust your own mind. Many of my clients have spent years appearing composed while inside they feel fragmented, overwhelmed, or disconnected. With a Master’s in Social Work from Arizona State University (2017), I support individuals navigating the emotional weight of anxiety, depression, and bipolar or borderline traits, helping them uncover steadier ground.

When life gets tough, whether it's anxiety or depression or relationship dissatisfaction, it can feel overwhelming. It is often an internal wake-up call to reach for support and receive help from others in order to cope effectively.

As a clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience, I offer an individualized combination of person-centered therapy with practical techniques, such as cognitive behavior therapy, for improving your mental and emotional life and daily function. In person-centered therapy, the basic idea is that individuals have great resources for understanding themselves and for changing self-concepts and attitudes that can lead to positive changes in behavior. This understanding can be life-changing and even life-saving. During therapy, we explore your relevant history, current situation, emotional responses, and life view.

The hardest things we carry often start early, and they can quietly shape how we show up in our relationships, our parenting, and our sense of self. If you are feeling stretched thin or unsure how to move forward, you are not alone, and reaching out is a meaningful first step. My own path into this work grew from childhood experiences that taught me how much it matters to have someone in your corner. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with an MS from Notre Dame de Namur University, 2018. I work with children 6 and older, couples, and parents, and I believe people can heal, reconnect, and grow into who they want to be.

I specialize in working with teens. Life consistently requires us to adjust and that is hard. Are you struggling in your relationship or in your ability to communicate with your spouse, teen or parents? Do you often find yourself wondering what you can do to help yourself or a loved one? At times nothing seems to work. Reaching out to a therapist can be scary and I realize there are many options. Anxiety, depression, low confidence/self esteem, anger issues, decision making, mood disorders, poor communication skills, addiction and behavioral issues are some of the things I can help with.

Anxiety, trauma, and major life changes can leave you feeling unsteady—like you're constantly adjusting, but never quite finding solid ground. You may appear capable to others while silently battling self-doubt, exhaustion, or memories that surface when you least expect. With an MS from California Baptist University and training in ACT, CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness-based approaches, I help adults navigate these internal storms with clarity and intention.

I strive to provide a comfortable environment where you feel heard, safe, accepted, and supported in making your desired changes. With compassion and empathy, I will support you in discovering your inner strengths and empower you to overcome the obstacles you may be facing. I believe that each individual heals in their own way and that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all. Part of my approach is asking questions – a lot of questions – so that I can understand you better and also help you explore what you may not have on your own.
