My ideal client is someone facing trauma, identity questions, or major life transitions. They may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, but they’re seeking clarity, healing, and a sense of control. They want to understand themselves better and make choices that align with their values. Often impacted by outside pressures or past wounds, they’re looking for a safe, affirming space to explore, grow, and reconnect with their inner strength. They know change is hard but possible and are ready to begin that journey.

I have worked with many individuals, couples, families and therapeutic groups with a wide assortment of issues and problems. I have over 30 years of experience in the field. I am committed to providing a safe environment to do the work of therapy. I believe that all clients have the capacity to figure out what they believe and then develop the thoughts and actions that are congruent with their own personal beliefs. Helping to facilitate this process and watching people I have had the privilege to work with grow and flourish had been an honor.

I enjoy understanding people’s life stories and how those experiences shape who they are and how they connect. In couples therapy, I bring curiosity to each partner’s inner world and to the space between them—including the emotional, relational, and sexual dynamics that make up a couple’s bond. My goal is to build a trusting relationship where both partners feel safe to explore what hasn’t yet been fully understood—within themselves and within the relationship. I help couples put words to complex experiences and make sense of the impact of their past, their pain, their fears, and their unmet needs—individually and together.

Midlife can be the moment when the life you’ve built no longer feels like the life you want. You may begin to question roles, relationships, and expectations that once felt fixed. These changes can feel disorienting, but they can also be the beginning of a deeper process of rediscovering who you are and what you truly want. In a space of curiosity and compassion, we can explore the emotional, relational, and identity shifts that often emerge in midlife—whether related to evolving partnerships, parenting transitions, career questions, or long-standing patterns that no longer fit,

I have experience in trauma based interventions (Exposure therapy) and treating men's issues (men as survivors of abuse in relationships).
My style of therapy draws from Cognitive Behavioral and Acceptance and Commitment therapy/mindfulness. My passion is for learning your story and working alongside you to find the solutions that work for you. I’m here to help you examine what you’ve already lived through and find the path forward. In my work with people with trauma I’ve learned that we often need the reminder – no matter what you have struggled with; you are a survivor and that needs to be brought to light. Keeping that in mind, I am guided by the client towards the goals that they feel are necessary for their treatment.

Knowing that we are all fellow humans journeying on a path towards a better life, I bring to our talk therapy a sense of genuine curiosity, gratitude and honest compassion to meet you exactly where you're at.
