With more than 30 years of experience, I’ve worked with people through many different stages of life and a wide range of challenges. I take a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy and focus on understanding what is actually happening in your life, not just putting a label on it.

I want you to feel comfortable being honest about what’s going on, including the things that may be difficult to say out loud. We’ll look at what’s getting in your way, identify what is already working, and focus on changes that feel realistic for you. You don’t need to wait until things feel completely overwhelming to reach out for therapy. Sometimes you know something needs to change, but you’re not quite sure where to start. You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, PTSD, stress, or a major life change, or simply feel like you’ve been running on empty for too long. My goal is for therapy to be a place where you can gain perspective, learn practical tools, and feel more capable of handling what comes next.

My approach is warm, compassionate, and practical. Together, we'll identify what's holding you back, build on your strengths, and develop realistic tools that help you feel more confident, resilient, and in control of your life. I believe therapy works best when it's a collaborative partnership built on trust, honesty, and mutual respect. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences without fear of judgment while also helping you make meaningful progress toward your goals.

Every person is different, so I tailor treatment to your unique needs and experiences. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Positive Psychology, strengths-based therapy, and trauma-informed care.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, and you don't need to have everything figured out before you begin. Our first session is simply a conversation where we'll get to know each other, discuss what has brought you to therapy, and talk about what you'd like to see change in your life.

Together, we'll identify your strengths, explore your concerns, and begin creating a plan that feels both realistic and meaningful. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and hopeful with the reassurance that you don't have to face life's challenges alone.
