Great to meet you!

I'm a licensed therapist with a background in grief work, cognitive behavioral therapy, holistic stress reduction and life coaching. With over 40 years of marriage and life experience, I bring compassion, insight, and real-world understanding into the therapy room. I specialize in helping individuals navigate loss, relationship challenges, and personal growth with a grounded and supportive approach.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique story. I often blend CBT, narrative therapy, and practical tools to help clients shift unhelpful patterns and reconnect with their strengths. I believe therapy should be a safe, judgment-free space where healing feels both possible and empowering.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling heard, supported, and more equipped to face life’s challenges. Together, we set realistic goals focused on emotional clarity, self-compassion, and lasting change. I strive to create a calm, honest environment where clients feel safe to be themselves and explore what matters most.
