Great to meet you!

Do you feel anxious & stressed? Overwhelmed by daily life? Have you ever thought-is this all there is? When you are feeling stuck, it can be hard to isolate what is causing it. You want to feel relief - you want to feel happy. Together we can focus in on the cause and collaborate to find solutions that will work for you. I started working in mental health over 30 years ago - it is my passion!

My approach to therapy

I am here to accompany you on your journey; to provide education, tools, and support to make life’s challenges a little less challenging. I don’t just sit back, I am actively involved in your growth, your success. I have specialized training and experience in anxiety management, processing trauma and in coping with grief and loss. I use cutting edge interventions like CBT and others. I also worked as a litigation attorney and as a teacher which has strengthened my skills as a therapist.

What you can expect from me

My focus is to provide you with relief as quickly as possible. Individualized intervention that works! Our first contact will be a chance for you to get a feel for how we click - to feel comfortable and confident that we can journey together. I will get to know you, the unique and individual parts. Within this safe and supportive relationship, we will bring forward your thoughts, feelings, and emotions to reveal and strengthen your truest self.
