At times, it can be difficult to feel joy or appreciate life due to mental health challenges that appear during times of transition. Asking for help can be intimidating. I offer compassionate, non-judgmental, and empowering therapy solutions, helping you develop your strengths and find balance in your life. For twenty years, I have worked with couples, adults, young adults, children, and families who are struggling with anxiety, anger, addictions, and relationship issues, helping them explore the roots of communication and trust issues.
I specialize in disrupted attachments, including those caused by early childhood trauma or the adoption process. My approach blends compassionate, non-judgmental, and empowering therapy with mindfulness, somatic practices, energy work, and other integrative techniques to support lasting growth and resilience.
Having faced challenges in my own life—including infertility, divorce, and the profound losses of both a baby and a partner—I bring deep empathy to my work. I strive to support clients in cultivating empowerment, inner peace, and greater self-awareness.
