My passion is helping others find ways to manage their challenges in this ever-changing journey we call life. For over 27 years I have worked with adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families in a variety of settings; including home, school, office, and in the community. I pride myself in building therapeutic relationships with each individual I work with. By achieving this, I believe we can then work together to help identify what is challenging you currently to get you to the life you choose to live successfully.

It can be difficult to begin the process of therapy. I am honored to support couples, families and individuals who want to begin to do that work. I offer a relational space that focuses on feeling safe and understood. My approach is from a family systems lens with somatic influences. It is the focus of my work to support the repair of broken relationships with others and one self through emotional exploration. Areas of interest include but are not limited to family and couple relationships, sexual intimacy, non-traditional families, addiction, high conflict, the family court system, play therapy and more.

It is a tremendous step to begin therapy or seek a new therapist. In your healing journey my intention is to create a space for safety so that you do not have to walk alone. I am a firm believer that each individual is the expert in their own life, therefore I hold in high honor the tenderness in walking alongside clients in sensitive emotions, relationships, and traumas.
