Accepting new clients. I have over 25 years of experience in providing therapy for individuals and couples, career counseling, and executive coaching.
Life can feel overwhelming. It’s easy to feel isolated, anxious, or depressed—bombarded by nonstop information, carrying unresolved pain, or triggered by past experiences that still affect your present. I help you sort through the confusion so you can better understand yourself, heal, and develop practical tools to manage what you’re facing. I use EMDR to support trauma recovery.
With couples, I use talk therapy and assessments to help you uncover the root causes of your conflict, improve communication, and rebuild connection. I am Level 1 Gottman Training certified. I can help you with career concerns, whether you are exploring a new direction, seeking advancement, managing leadership complexity, or navigating stress and politics.
I bring compassion, candor, and hope. My goal is to partner with you—to help you move through challenges, reconnect with what matters to you, and find greater fulfillment in life. Please call or email me to explore whether we’d be a good fit.
