Great to meet you!

I have over 30 years of clinical, counseling and administrative experience working with individuals and couples, addressing the unique issues related to their unique life experiences. I have extensive professional and personal experience with military families and veterans. I understand first-hand the struggles of grief and medical conditions that impact all aspects of life. I have supported chronically and terminally ill patients, individuals living with cancer or chronic medical diagnoses, as well as parents experiencing infertility, peripartum, and postpartum depression. Whether dealing with life transitions, parenting, depression, anxiety, or divorce, or simply seeking to express yourself and feel more confident, I am here to walk with you, provide insights, and support you toward lasting change.

My approach to therapy

From my own experience as both a practitioner and a participant, I can speak to the benefits of therapy as a place where you can exhale, slow down, and feel truly heard. We will move at your pace and work together to help you feel more in control of your life, connected to your needs, and confident in speaking up for yourself. In our work together, you can expect me to show up with authenticity, honesty, and genuine care. As partners, we will explore what’s on your heart and mind, and work toward the changes and healing you are seeking.

What you can expect from me

Seeking support can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to face your challenges alone. Beginning therapy is a brave and compassionate act of self-care. I honor the courage it takes to reach out—it’s not always easy, but it’s a powerful choice. I am here to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can heal, grow, and regain balance. Wherever you are on your journey, I will meet you with warmth, understanding, and authenticity.
