Great to meet you!

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to discover what you are looking for in a therapist! Just a fun fact about me, prior to becoming a LCSW, I practiced as a maternal/baby Registered Nurse for 12 years. As a nurse, I found that the best part of my job was being able to really listen to my patients and provide them with education and resources. So, at the age of 40, I decided to pursue a new career in clinical counseling!

My approach to therapy

Over the last 7 years in practice, I have helped clients of all ages and genders, but as a woman in her mid-fourties, I have found that it really helps to have someone who can help us navigate issues such as empty nest feelings, relationship struggles, anxiety that comes with menopause, grief and loss and so much more.

What you can expect from me

I strive to help my clients feel validated and supported by offering non-judgmental counseling. Together, we will work on your goals through a strength-based approach utilizing different modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, gestalt, IFS techniques and more.
