Many of us lead busy lives with little space to breathe, think, and make choices with clarity. We hold ourselves to unsustainable standards in our careers, relationships and as individuals. We move from day to day with anxious thoughts, or float numbly with disconnection and over-scheduling as a way to avoid pain. Often our expectations, goals and circumstances come at the expense of our own healthy well being.

You love your partner, but if you’re being honest, you don’t feel supported or even understood anymore. It’s frustrating to be in a relationship without getting what you need. Arguments leave you both hurt, feeling misunderstood and alone. That frustration builds and becomes resentment or regret. And living with those emotions isn’t easy. You’re drained and overwhelmed, wondering how much longer you can do this. You’ve tried everything you can think of, but nothing works for very long. You’re at the breaking point where you know something has to change.

I have over 45 years of experience working in the Holistic Health field, and so I draw from many different modalities where we explore together what is needed for change and growth. I believe that what is true for each person can be found within, so my job is to help you explore and find those answers and insights that lead to growth. I also offer a deeply personal and interactive relationship where I seek to provide the safety for this exploration, as well as the opportunity to have an experience of a relationship that is both corrective and healing.

I was inspired to become a therapist because I saw a need in the community. I was born for a reason and Social Work is my heart's mission. I will make you feel heard and understood by letting you know that you are the expert of your own life and we can begin from there. I will listen carefully-not just your words, but your emotions, your body language, and what might be behind the things you're saying. I'll reflect back what I hear to make sure I'm understanding you correctly. I'll create a space where you don't have to filter yourself.

For me, becoming a therapist was really about wanting to support people through difficult and sometimes lonely parts of their lives. I've always been drawn to deep conversations and understanding what makes people feel seen, heard, and safe. Over time, I realized that being present for someone-without judgement-can be incredibly powerful. I wanted to offer that space where people can explore their story, grow, and feel more connected to themselves. It's a privilege to be part of that process. My priority is to create a space where you can be fully yourself-without pressure, judgment, or expectation.

Are you an over-achiever with a painful childhood? Do you push yourself to be the best, even when it taxes your personal life and mental health? I help adults like you who’ve experienced chaotic or traumatic childhoods. I understand how exhausting it can be to stay one step ahead of the inner critic and keep hidden the most vulnerable parts inside. I know the toll it takes: low self-confidence, burnout and anxiety. And I want more for you. More confidence, more clarity, and more joy.

What inspires me to work in mental health is the possibility of supporting another person or family through a difficult phase of their life. I have experience in trauma focused care, anxiety, depression, and parenting across all ages. I hope to use this experience to assist my clients in improving their quality of life. As a clinician, I come from a place of non-judgement, curiosity, and view my client as the expert of their own life. Therefore, I ask clarifying questions to make sure I understand what they are saying, validate, and respect where they are coming from.
