Evening and Saturday, online or in-person appointments are offered. My hope is to provide a sense of connection in a world where we have become disconnected from each other. I possess a genuine and strong passion for walking with others on their journey towards good mental health and meaningful, happy lives. I have two decades of experience assisting others overcome their challenges and empowering individuals to achieve their goals. I believe in providing a safe, non-judgmental environment in which to explore areas for growth.
I have special interest in working with depression, anxiety and various trauma. I have found that when addressing these concerns, it is often important to also address underlying and associated areas such as self-esteem, anger and assertiveness. I mostly apply strength-based and cognitive-behavioral approaches. I am trained in EMDR therapy.
One of my primary goals is to help you feel heard and understood in this busy and stressful world, as well as to help you see that there is hope! Please contact me if anything you have read suggests I may be a good fit for you!

I have found EMDR to be life-changing for many clients. EMDR can get to the core of our deep-rooted negative beliefs such that in our heart we believe such things are no longer true; this positively impacts our thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
