Finding a therapist who truly listens while also offering practical solutions can be challenging. With over 29 years of counseling experience, my goal is to support clients in navigating difficult life situations and developing meaningful, lasting change.
I specialize in working with individuals, couples, children, young adults, and young adults with disabilities. I provide evidence-based strategies and techniques to address emotional, behavioral, developmental, and addictive disorders, always tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs.
I have extensive training in working with adults, children, disabilities and adolescents. Together, we will build insight, develop effective coping tools, and create achievable goals that support personal growth and healing. You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone—I am here to help.
