You're someone who knows yourself well enough to know when something's off — and motivated enough to do something about it. Maybe you're processing current or past trauma, recalibrating after your kids left home, navigating menopause, or learning to understand a neurodivergent family member — or yourself. You're expressive, open-minded, and invested in the relationship with your therapist, not just the techniques although I can do those as well. After 31 years, I still love this work. I'd love to work with you.
I bring genuine warmth, sharp instincts, and deep clinical training to every session. Trained in EMDR, TF-CBT, CBT, ERP, and psychodynamic theory, I tailor my approach to what you need — not a formula. I'm also highly attuned to energy and spirit, and weave that awareness naturally into our work. Healing happens on many levels. I'm here for all of them.
If you're ready to invest in yourself — truly invest — I'd love to hear from you. I maintain a small, intentional caseload so I can show up fully for each person I work with. If we're not the right fit, I'll connect you with one of my talented colleagues. Reach out. The right therapeutic relationship can change everything.
