It’s hard to feel connected when conflict keeps getting in the way. Whether you're navigating a relationship, healing from betrayal, or feeling worn down by stress and loss, you don’t have to go through it alone. I work with individuals and couples facing relationship challenges, grief, anxiety, or major life transitions, and I help them move toward healing, clarity, and confidence. Therapy with me is grounded in respect, trust, and compassion. With over 30 years of experience in clinical care across schools, community mental health, and nonprofit settings, my approach is warm and collaborative.
I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, mindfulness to stay present, and strength-based therapy to help you build on your natural resilience.
We’ll identify your goals and develop realistic, meaningful steps forward. You’ll leave each session with practical insights and tools you can apply in everyday life. Let’s start with a conversation. You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin.
