Great to meet you!

Yes, I'm just as funny as Melissa McCarthy! Going through a big change or feeling unsure about what’s next? I support young adults and people in transition—whether you’re starting something new, ending something old, or feeling stuck in between. I also work with clients of all ages and bring a warm, down-to-earth approach grounded in practical tools like CBT and solution-focused therapy. I’ve lived a lot of life—raised a family, worked in real estate and corporate settings—and I bring that perspective into the work we do together.

My approach to therapy

My approach is tailored to each client's unique needs and situation. I am trained in multiple therapeutic modalities, including CBT and Solutions-Focused therapy. My approach is client-centered and strength-based, which helps me understand the client and create a trusting space that facilitates positive outcomes. I believe in holistic wellness and strive to help clients achieve a healthy life-work balance. My goal is to help clients overcome their challenges and live a more fulfilling life.

What you can expect from me

Goal setting is key to determining progress and areas that need attention. When you set goals, you have something to strive for and a way to measure your progress. Goals also help you stay on track and motivated. My approach is to understand your needs and then develop a treatment plan that will empower you to meet your unique goals.
