Great to meet you!

Dynamic experienced Therapist ready to help you!

I've been practicing for 24 years working with adolescents and adults, clinically and in medical settings. I help young adults, college students, working professionals, adults, and adult caregivers with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, career pressure, & stress management. My schedule changes a bit week by week so even if you don't see my calendar as being available please send a message, we can always work out a time!

A bit about my approach to therapy

I'm a solution-oriented, down-to-earth therapist who thoroughly enjoys supporting individuals on their journey to help themselves. With a warm and empathetic approach, I provide a safe space to explore thoughts and emotions. It's my goal to help people by empowering them to learn strategies to improve relationships, problem-solve difficult decisions, and live a productive life with intention.

What you can expect from our first session

I like to engage clients in discussion and processing to help them connect the dots in their lives. Through therapy, we will work together to help you heal and grow!
