Great to meet you!

Congratulations for taking the first step to exploring ways to create the life you desire. I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for 20 years and have realized that there are things in our lives that can stand in the way of manifesting the life we want. My goal is to create a safe, warm, accepting space for you to explore what you need and support you in this process.

My approach to therapy

I tend to tailor treatment to the individual rather than use a "one size fits all" approach. Together we will discover which approach works for you. My areas of strength are women's issues, codependency/empowerment and anxiety. I have found EMDR to be helpful with trauma and self-confidence.

What you can expect from me

In our first session you will have the opportunity to share your story, what brings you here and what you hope to accomplish in our time together.
