I’m a warm, compassionate, and persistent 51-year-old who loves this work. Clients often feel like they’re having an insightful, heartfelt conversation rather than a formal therapy session.

By helping you understand and care for the parts of yourself that carry pain or conflict, we ease anxiety and depression and open the door to greater balance and emotional freedom.

I am a couple’s therapist here to help you heal relationship stress that prevents you from moving further forward in your partnership. These emotions leave you feeling insecure, shameful, lonely, unworthy, and stuck in unhealthy patterns of behavior. Trauma can have negative emotional and physical effects and can lead to family/relationship issues. I specialize in solution-focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness and CBT. These approaches allow me to work with the client to decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression and other health/behavioral issues.

Clients I work with often have tried therapy before and found it helpful but incomplete, or they might be looking for something more profound. They are seeking a genuine, collaborative therapeutic relationship that avoids pathologizing or rushing the process. They may also need help making sense of their suffering without reducing it to a diagnosis, while still gaining practical grounding and emotional regulation.
