Great to meet you!

With over 30 years of experience, I believe effective therapy begins with a safe, trusting relationship. I help clients clearly identify their challenges and desired outcomes, using honest communication, personal insight, and compassion to strengthen relationships and support meaningful progress. As the Executive Director of a youth and family counseling program—and the founder of my own practice focused on building healthy relationships—I bring a grounded, relational approach that helps individuals, couples, and families move toward lasting change.

My approach to therapy

I use empathy, grounded presence, and a touch of humor to help clients navigate depression, trauma, grief, infidelity, life transitions, relationship challenges, sexual compulsion, family conflict, and anxiety. Working from a holistic, client‐centered perspective, I integrate CBT, ACT, and Solution‐Focused approaches to support each person’s unique journey toward healing, clarity, and meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

The first session is about creating a calm, grounded space where you feels safe, understood, and not rushed, while you gently gather what brought you in, clarify what “better” looks like, and begin forming a shared sense of direction. My hope is to hear your story and normalize your experience, ask curious open questions, learn about any essential history and risk without making it feel clinical, and end with a simple next step so you leave feeling oriented and hopeful rather than overwhelmed. When appropriate, I will use such tools as Clinicom and other screeners to provide some additional insight.
