Are you someone who has a hard time asking for help but is tired of trying to solve your problems alone? Would you like the support to explore your needs and create a strategy for getting your life and relationships where you want them? I'd like to help. I aim to validate where you're at and give you the practical guidance and structure you need to gain momentum and feel better. Getting started can be the hardest step to take but you will likely feel relieved after reaching out so please do! Together we can help you create a map for managing your stress, improving your relationships and making you feel better about yourself.
My areas of focus include providing support for a wide range of issues — from the challenges of work/life balance, changing family roles and questions about identity, issues related to the stress of aging, illness and caregiving, to coping with the pain surrounding death and loss. I also provide support related to substance use and recovery processes.
I understand the courage it can take for clients who are taking the first step in the counseling process. That first step can be scary but having a therapist and time to reflect and work on your life is a priceless investment well worth your time and energy.

I work with people moving through loss, life transitions, and the quiet overwhelm of change. Together we create space to process what's shifted and clarify what still matters. Loss doesn't follow a timeline, and healing doesn't mean forgetting—it means finding ways to live fully while holding space for what and who you've lost.

I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. I combine evidence-based practices with a deep respect for your relationships, values, and the wisdom you already carry about your own life. The tools we use shift as you do—sometimes we need skills for surviving the hardest days, sometimes space to process, and sometimes help imagining what comes next.
