Great to meet you!

Welcome! In my practice, I combine psychotherapy and health coaching to help you feel your best emotionally, mentally, and physically. Whether you’re navigating stress, struggling to set boundaries, or seeking greater balance, I offer a warm, collaborative space where growth becomes possible and sustainable. Together, we’ll discover the patterns that are keeping you stuck, identify action steps, and start to build lasting habits that improve your well-being and move toward a more energized, grounded, and fulfilling life.

My approach to therapy

As a therapist with over 20 years of experience working with clients, I have learned that every person has a unique story and struggles with issues that are uniquely their own. With my clients, I listen closely for the strengths in every person's story and work to create a future that is built on those strengths. Because I am also a health coach, I focus on creating and implementing attainable goals that move each client toward their personal, professional, and overall health goals.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect to be greeted with kindness, acceptance, and sincere curiosity. I truly want to hear and understand your story and to help you identify the patterns and belief systems that are keeping you stuck.
