Great to meet you!

Now offering Saturday appointments!! I bring over 20 years of clinical experience and 35 years in social work to my practice, along with a genuine passion for helping others. Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, and easy to talk to. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a safe, supportive conversation where you can be your authentic self without judgment.

My approach to therapy

My approach blends evidence-based methods—such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and strength-based strategies—with compassion and practical guidance. When desired, I also offer Christian counseling. I tailor each session to fit your needs, focusing on your strengths and goals while providing tools you can apply in daily life.

What you can expect from me

Clients leave sessions with clarity, encouragement, and practical next steps to move forward. Together, we’ll work on building skills for managing stress, navigating life transitions, setting healthy boundaries, and healing from loss. My hope is that you’ll feel more confident, supported, and equipped to face challenges with resilience.
