Great to meet you!

It takes courage to tell your story, be vulnerable, and practice introspection. But as the old saying goes, “a problem shared is a problem halved.” Whether you’re experiencing challenges in your relationships, family, career, health, or questioning your life path, we’ll work together to find a solution.

My approach to therapy

As a Counselor and Life Coach who supports people during life transitions—including marriage, divorce, career changes, motherhood, and grief and loss, I’ll be a compassionate listener. My approach draws from logotherapy, promoting action toward finding life’s purpose. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and solution-focused therapies to help clients examine life transitions, relationship friction, and the many other challenges they might encounter in life.

What you can expect from me

Mental health and physical health are intertwined. I believe a holistic approach that incorporates good nutrition and exercise enhances talk therapy. A sense of humor is also invaluable in creating perspective and easing the load we are carrying. With that in mind, I look forward to working with you to reinvigorate your enthusiasm for life and optimism for the future.
