I have 34 years of experience supporting clients with concerns related to stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, depression, and major life transitions. I have worked with individuals across the lifespan and bring a broad perspective to the challenges people face at different stages of life. Developing effective ways to cope with life’s difficulties is an important step toward gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and creating meaningful, lasting change. If you are experiencing mental health challenges, seeking support is a significant and courageous first step.
My approach to therapy is a collaborative, strengths‑based process. I am experienced with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR. I believe that exploring how our thoughts, feelings and behavior are connected is important because it supports lasting change and a greater sense of emotional balance.
In our first session, you can expect a calm, safe, welcoming space where you’re met with care and curiosity. We start by talking about what brings you in and what feels safest to share. I ask gentle, relevant questions to understand your needs, and together we set early goals so you leave feeling supported, understood, and more oriented in the process.
