If you’re reading this, you may be perceptive, thoughtful, and quietly exhausted—by relationships that miss you, by therapy that stays on the surface, or by a life that works but doesn’t feel alive. I work with people who sense patterns others overlook and want more than coping strategies. We slow things down, listen closely, and clarify what’s actually happening—so energy returns, choices sharpen, and change feels grounded and real. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out.
I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with 20+ years of experience, certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I work with thoughtful, perceptive clients who feel stuck or misunderstood. In telehealth sessions, we slow down, clarify what’s happening, and explore ways to live and relate that feel alive.
I offer a free consultation to connect, answer your questions, and give you a sense of how I work. Together we can see if therapy with me feels like a space where you can explore, reflect, and create the changes you want.

I work with thoughtful, self-aware people who feel stuck in painful emotional or relational patterns, including shame, trauma, anxiety, and creative blocks. Treatment involves understanding how these patterns formed and working experientially to shift them in real time. Clients gain greater emotional stability, authentic relationships, and a deeper sense of freedom and self-trust.
