Great to meet you!

I have been described as a “down to earth” and “real” therapist. I like to believe these are accurate descriptors. I bring a plethora of experience to my therapy room; however, I recognize, acknowledge, and celebrate the client being the expert on their life. I provide a safe environment which allows my clients to be transparent without judgment. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and it is definitely a risk. We need to remember there is no growth without risk!

My approach to therapy

I have had the privilege of serving adolescents through the elderly assisting them with navigating struggles through life cycles. Having been in practice for over 20 years I have effectively worked with clients suffering from a multitude of disorders, being able to witness transformation in them.

What you can expect from me

My clients leave our therapy room with a new found sense of strength and empowerment to venture out onto their life’s journey with confidence, discovering they do not have to walk this path alone.
