Great to meet you!

If you are carrying grief, trauma, or navigating a major life transition, you may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Experiences such as loss, divorce, infertility, or other unexpected changes can deeply impact your sense of stability and alters your identity.

I bring over two decades of experience working in a variety of clinical settings. My background includes serving as a probation officer, directing three partial hospitalization programs, working in an inpatient psychiatric facility, and building a private practice. These experiences have given me a broad and practical understanding of how people struggle—and more importantly, how they heal.

I hold a Master of Education in Counseling and Guidance and have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2001. I specialize in trauma and grief, using EMDR as my primary modality, along with CBT and other evidence-based approaches. I also value and incorporate principles from 12-step recovery when working with clients or loved ones living with addiction.

I work with adults facing trauma, grief, and life transitions, including those who are high-functioning but internally struggling. Regardless of what brought you here, therapy can be a place to gain clarity, build resilience, and reconnect with yourself.

My approach to therapy

My approach is direct, compassionate, and grounded in real-life experience. Therapy with me is about helping you understand yourself, process what you’ve been through, and connect with your voice so you can move forward with clarity and confidence. My goal is to help you find your truth so you can move forward and live a more authentic, meaningful life.

What you can expect from me

My first question for new clients is, “Why now?” I want to understand what brought you to this point, whether something recent happened or something has been building over time. From there, we will look at the full picture, including your history, current challenges, and goals, and create a path forward that helps you feel more steady, connected, and confident in your next

steps.
