We have an innate need to be in relationship. It is the very foundation of what it is to be human. We need to experience love, reciprocity and fulfillment. A healthy relationship considers the needs of others, focuses on patience and kindness, maintains honesty and trustworthiness and is nurturing. I'm a therapist who works at helping my clients restore love and trust within their identity and among relationships by essentially helping them become their own therapist. Everyone experiences violations in relationships and it's when we're without a restoration process that we continue feeling pain.

I am a therapist with 30+ years experience. As I build a relationship with my clients I integrate traditional therapy with innovative "best practice" tools. I help people become strong at the broken places in their life so they can move forward with peace and confidence.

When struggling with PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, and other mental health challenges it can impact every area of our lives. When our current coping tools no longer work, we deserve new ones that do.

My entire adult life I have worked with children and their families as a professional teacher and now a therapist. I easily relate to all ages - children, adolescents, teens, and adults. I understand how important working with families and schools can be for the mental health of the child. As a teacher for over 20 years, I understand burnout, the inner-workings of schools, and the importance of the personnels' mental health and self care. Plus, over 16 years experience with child-rearing, elderly parental care, end of life choices, adult social services, and grief and bereavement therapies for children and adults.

Change, hardship, pain, and grappling with the unknown are inevitable parts of life, but learning how to navigate these experiences and use them in ways that can contribute to your personal growth, meaning, and fulfillment is my goal as your therapist. Everyone’s journey to healing looks different and I look forward to joining you on yours.
