I have specialized in working with families of aging or chronically ill patients, specifically patients with dementia and brain injury. I work with the caregiver to help them negotiate through the stress of caring for a loved one with a chronic illness such as Alzheimer's disease. In addition to my practice focus, I enjoy working with adults seeking to improve their quality of life and are willing to do the work it takes to accomplish that.

I also facilitate past-life regression for those who are interested & ready for that type of deep work.

We all have a story to tell. Our lives are full of hopes and dreams, fears and struggles. No matter if the client in front of me is a five year old child, a couple in their 30's, or a sixty year old man, we all need someone to listen and support us. I consider myself to be an empathetic therapist. I want to support my client as best I can in their life journey. I also know that it isn't easy to go to therapy and I want to be someone who starts with where the client is at, but also know that I can be direct at times if needed, and softer at other times. I have worked with children, adolescents, couples, and families.

I know how your feeling. Your at a loss. Some days are good, and you think your headed in the right direction, and then all of a sudden... someone says the smallest thing, and it hits you the wrong way. Puts you in tears, and your spiraling down. What happened? I thought everything was getting better. Now what? You miss someone who passed and all you want to do is hug them one last time. Tell them how much they mean to you. It’s not fair. Why did this happen? Or maybe your getting a divorce and your feeling stuck. You don’t know how to move forward. I get it. I get you. I hear you!

I encourage you to shop and take your time at finding your right fit. Thus, I offer a free 15 min. virtual meet 'n greet. While this is not therapy, it does give you an opportunity to get a feel for your comfort and the right fit.
