Great to meet you!

With over 25 years of experience, I support caregivers, older adults, veterans, and families facing dementia, aging, chronic illness, and end-of-life transitions. Licensed in Arizona and Hawaii, I provide a calm, compassionate space to breathe, process, and reconnect with yourself while learning practical coping skills. I use evidence-based approaches to foster resilience, clarity, and steadiness during life’s complex seasons.

My approach to therapy

I build strong, trusting relationships with clients by creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where they feel heard and supported. I combine evidence-based methods—like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and strengths-based approaches—with a compassionate, humanistic style. I focus on helping clients recognize their own resources and resilience, set achievable goals, and make meaningful, lasting changes.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and begin building trust. You’ll have space to share what’s bringing you in, and I’ll ask questions to understand your history, strengths, and current challenges. We’ll identify priorities and discuss practical coping strategies. Clients often leave feeling understood, grounded, and clear about next steps. My approach emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies, helping clients manage challenges, improve coping skills, and increase confidence in their ability to navigate life transitions.
