I offer a calm, grounded space to help you work through anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and midlife changes. I believe meaningful growth happens when you feel genuinely heard and can explore patterns with both curiosity and care. In our work together, I bring a collaborative, evidence-based approach tailored to your goals, always at a pace that feels right for you. With individuals and couples, I draw from CBT, mindfulness, and Gottman-informed methods to build self-awareness, emotional balance, and healthier connection.
I'm part of the Anchor Health Counseling team, and we want to make it easy to start therapy. We are in-network with Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, and Medicare. You can call us, email us, or visit us online at the Anchor Health Counseling website.
I work from Monday through Friday and offer daytime and evening appointments. We have more than 30 therapists on staff so if I’m not the right fit, I’m sure we can find a colleague who is. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
