Reaching out for a therapist often happens during some of life’s most challenging moments—times of anxiety, uncertainty, or emotional pain. In those moments, it’s natural to want a space where you can feel safe, understood, and truly heard. With over 40 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through many different life experiences. I believe that each person’s journey is unique, and there is no single “right” way to live or to face life’s challenges. My goal is to create a empathic and nonjudgmental partnership where we can explore what matters most to you and find meaningful ways to move forward.

In a confidential and supportive environment, I will work with you to better understand past relationships and patterns that may be affecting you. Together, we can gently uncover what may be getting in the way of you realizing your goals and attaining well-being.I have extensive experience working with the LGBTQ+ and trans community. Career long, I have worked supporting those facing serious illness, end-of-life concerns. I remain with the client, if they choose, in bereavement. All are welcome in my practice. Reaching out can feel like a big step—I’d be honored to connect and see if we’re a good fit.

I see adult individuals, adults and seniors. Our first session is a chance to begin getting to know one another at whatever pace feels right.

I will greet you with an open mind and genuine curiosity: I want to understand what brought

you here, what has felt most difficult, and what you are hoping to find through therapy. There is

no pressure to have it all figured out. If it is not yet clear what you want, we will work that out

together. Most clients leave that first session feeling a little more settled, knowing there is a

safe space ready for them when they return.
