Life can be painful and confusing, and it helps to have a safe place to talk things through. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, or relationship struggles. I offer over 26 years of experience and a warm, respectful space to explore what’s going on and what might help. My approach is collaborative and practical. I listen carefully to client goals and use strength and evidence based approaches such as Gottman, Narrative, CBT and EMDR . We’ll work at your pace, and I’ll offer tools along the way to support your goals. I also offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
I guide individuals and couples with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship struggles by helping them identify patterns, develop coping strategies and skills. Together, we’ll create practical steps toward greater emotional balance, healthier relationships, and improved communication. I also help pre-marital couples in preparing for marriage.
Originally from CA, I’ve lived in GA and Switzerland and travelled extensively. I work with all kinds of people and backgrounds. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel empowered to see your own strengths and tackle your challenges with honesty and compassion. Each client is unique! Outside of therapy, I love horses and nature.
