Great to meet you!

As a marriage and family therapist and school psychologist for over 25 years combined, I've seen the positive change and renewed sense of hope that can occur when you take that first scary step towards seeking help. My primary focus has been working with women, especially gay women, struggling with anxiety, depression, & codependency, as well as couples seeking to improve their communication skills.

My approach to therapy

Each individual and couple have unique needs, so I allow that to guide our process together. My goal is to create a climate of respect, warmth and acceptance. I will listen attentively, give feedback, help you set goals, or assist you in sorting out unresolved wounds.

What you can expect from me

The first session is an opportunity for you to tell your story and what you're looking to accomplish. Sometimes, the aim is simply to stop feeling discomfort. Other times the objective is find your purpose or achieve a concrete goal you've set for yourself. We heal as we accept ourselves and embrace our feelings and our dreams. We are all so much more beautiful and wiser than we know.
