Great to meet you!

I help adults and families feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, relationship stress, and life transitions find steadiness, clarity, and a way forward. If you feel stuck, emotionally drained, or like you’re just getting through the day, you don’t have to do it alone. For more than 25 years, I’ve supported individuals and families through major life changes, including years working overseas with military families, and I understand how disruptive stress and transition can be.

My approach to therapy

In therapy, we’ll make space for what’s painful while also building on your strengths. My style is collaborative, encouraging, and practical—I’ll help you explore new perspectives, work through what feels stuck, and move toward more calm, confidence, and growth. In our first session, we’ll get to know each other, talk about what you want for your life, and identify a few meaningful next steps.

What you can expect from me

If you’re ready to feel more hopeful, more grounded, and more in control of your life, I’d be honored to support you. Starting therapy is a brave step, and you don’t have to have it all figured out to begin. Reach out to schedule a session, and we can start building a path forward together.
