Great to meet you!

I am a Board Certified Licensed Professional Counselor and have a Masters in Clinical Psychology with 20 years of experience and I'm ready to hear your story. I work with adults from college age through mid-life who are navigating a life transition, feeling stuck and finally ready for movement towards change. Some clients come in with a clear goal and a timeline. Others just need room and guidance to figure it out. I've spent many years in private practice and of late in a hospital setting as well as taught graduate courses. I bring knowledge, skills and depth with a down-to-earth relatable energy.

My approach to therapy

My foundation is humanistic but I use more than one approach. I'm effective at determining what therapy techniques and interventions best fit specific situations. Someone working through a difficult period looks different than it does for someone with persistent anxiety or someone questioning how their life turned out. Warm, collaborative, and direct when it matters.

What you can expect from me

What matters and is important to you, matters and is important to me. I create a safe, non-judgmental space for sharing. Start where you want and we'll fill in the rest as we work together. I am a keen listener and will pick up nuances, patterns and pitfalls in your story, giving us a path where real change occurs. I believe everyone deserves agency over their treatment and has the intuitive ability to know what they want from therapy. I consider it a privilege to work with you.
