Therapy invites us to explore the experiences that shape us: our history, the relationships we’ve built, the challenges we've faced, and the strengths we've developed. Through this introspective process, we can uncover sources of meaning in our lives, find fulfillment in our personal connections and gain new perspectives on the stories we carry with us. As a therapist, I aim to provide a supportive space where you can courageously explore your inner world with curiosity and compassion.

I have worked with adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families with mental health challenges since 1990. I have spent a great deal of time supporting individuals with trauma histories to find healing and move forward in reaching their goals. I feel incredibly humbled to be able to come alongside individuals and families and be a part of their journey toward healing and wholeness. I try to meet each individual where they are at with respect, empathy, and hope for growth and recovery.

Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes in a person-centered approach to therapy. I see therapy as a process of self-exploration, and my role is to help my clients gain insight into themselves and their ways of being in the world. Using a strength-based approach, clients will feel empowered to make the changes they want to make in their lives. As of June 27, 2023, I am out on maternity leave. I will be returning in November.

Over thirty years of experience partnering with clients of all ages, from a wide variety of backgrounds, has confirmed for me each person has within themselves the resources and ability to become the person they wish to be and to improve their satisfaction in life. As a therapist I partner with each client helping them to identify patterns of thought and behavior that are no longer effective and guide them in discovering new, more rewarding ways of relating and connecting with others. I work collaboratively with clients to solve problems, connect with strengths, and reach their personal and professional goals.

Do you ever ask yourself, "who am I?", "what am I here for?", "how shall I live?" If so, you are not alone and you are asking the right questions for healing and living an autonomous, thriving life. Through a multidimensional lens weaving ancient healing practices, spirituality and western psychology, we can discover the answers to these questions. I believe that individuals are capable of transcending limiting beliefs to develop a deep sense of self and consciousness. My practice focus is with adult individuals and couples in a supportive, safe, culturally sensitive environment.
