About Me:

With over 25 years of experience as a therapist, I bring a compassionate, strength-based approach to helping clients navigate life’s challenges. I believe that many people already hold the answers within themselves—my role is to guide and support you in discovering those solutions. I hope to be that one who helps you feel truly heard, seen, and empowered. My clients often describe me as someone they can connect with easily and trust to offer practical tools and unwavering encouragement.
