You want so much more for yourself, your family, and/or your marriage.

I know the importance of finding someone who lets you take your time, respects your emotional development and upholds your dignity. I want to help you make sense of the life that you have and turn it into the one you want. Growth looks different for all of us. What blocks us from it might not block everybody else, too. We are all doing the best we can and deserve the best not just for, but from ourselves. Do you want a helping hand and open heart to help you reconnect with the center of who you are?

Do your relationships feel toxic, one-sided, or like you’re always settling for less than you deserve? If you’ve experienced attachment trauma, abandonment, or narcissistic abuse, these patterns aren’t random - you were conditioned for them. Whether in your family, relationships, or a society that thrives on disconnection, the wounds run deep. But healing is possible. You are not broken. You are not too much. You are worthy of love, safety, and connection. I help clients break free from toxic cycles, build boundaries, regulate emotions, and trust themselves again—so they can create the relationships and life they truly deserve.

Keep HOPE alive and NEVER give up. Problems in our lives are either self-imposed or imposed upon us by other means. What we perceive might be different than the reality. Negative beliefs affect us mentally and physically. Misinterpretations and irrational or self-defeating beliefs can create unhappy feelings, self-doubt, stress, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, etc. Problems don’t go away by themselves; we need to resolve them. As a certified Marriage & Family Therapist and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I offer an open-minded, non-judgmental, and empathetic counseling approach in a safe and supportive environment.

Perhaps you became a caregiver, received a medical diagnosis, or lost someone dear to you. Now what? Life has a way of surprising us. As a therapist specializing in aging and life transitions, I can help you navigate the unexpected so you can reconnect with your purpose, even if it looks different than you imagined.

“Out of office until May 2025” I am focused on providing a collaborative and person-centered approach for those seeking therapeutic services. There is no "one-size-fits-all" philosophy in counseling and each person deserves an individualized process that can help with developing tools in order to better cope with life stressors or transitions. My goal is to provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment throughout each client's journey towards finding clarity and stability in their lives. Everyone deserves to find the confidence in themselves to further their personal or professional goals in life.

I have been fortunate to have the majority of my referrals come through friends or family of prior clients. The passion I felt when entering the field of counseling 20 years ago, seems even greater today. More individuals and couples are genuinely motivated to seek deeper levels of understanding and self-awareness. Most behavior and thought patterns are learned early in our development. Many suffer due to repeated behavior and choices, involving friends, family, and relationships. Change in the choices we make, often results in positively altering the way we feel, perceive, and live life. Authentic change begins within oneself.

Life is not going well: You're dealing with stress and anxiety from work and family. Relationships are not going well. Even spending time with family and friends seems stressful. The place that should be your sanctuary is a source of added stress. There's constant worry over upsetting your spouse. You try and keep the peace, but that only leads to more stress and discouragement. Your life has focused on giving time and energy to others, but you're getting little in return. You feel resentful and overwhelmed because you spend so much personal equity on others. You don't have the energy to keep up this lifestyle anymore.
