Because I’ve worked in both medical and school environments, I understand how overwhelming it can feel when life challenges stack up—whether that’s health issues, family stress, or emotional burnout. I've walked along side clients to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and find a way forward that feels realistic and sustainable.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Together, we focus on what matters most to you—building insight, strengthening coping tools, and creating change that fits your life. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on helping you feel more resourced and steadier.

Many of the individuals I work with struggle with managing daily life stressors. This may be due to experiencing a traumatic childhood, recovering from a recent traumatic event, or having trouble juggling the demands placed on them. Many people find themselves stuck or “going through the motions” and are looking for validation that they are not alone as well as help with finding hope and a purpose in their lives.

I have worked with adults, adolescents, elders and children.

Do you ever feel stuck in the same patterns—like part of you knows what needs to change, but something keeps getting in the way?
I’ve spent over 20 years helping people make sense of those patterns and gently shift them. I draw from both Clinical Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy, which allows me to support both individuals and the systems they’re part of. My work is grounded in Adlerian therapy, which means I pay close attention to how your life experiences, relationships, and beliefs have shaped the way you move through the world—and how we can build something more aligned with who you want to be.

My assumption about most people who seek out a therapist is they are stuck in a situation and have already tried everything they can think of to get unstuck. My approach is pragmatic, non-judgmental, and client-centered. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and polycules to develop new skills that will empower them to move towards the lives they want to live. I am a total nerd about therapy and love the creativity of tailoring therapeutic approaches to clients.
