Warmth, authenticity and connection, plus a little bit (sometimes a lot) of laughter are the hallmarks of my practice. I focus on establishing and maintaining a safe, trusting relationship with every client because I believe through connection there is healing. I specialize in helping clients in transition - separation, divorce, empty nesting, college-to-adulting - the major life changes where we often find ourselves questioning, doubting, or just wondering. Helping others discover their own "Ah-ha" moments is what makes me a great therapist.

I'll guide you on your healing journey to the new adventures that await.

I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and will work with you to forge a trusting therapeutic relationship to ensure you feel safe, understood and truly heard. The best clinical intervention is the therapeutic relationship itself, so my priority is building a secure, trusting connection with you.
