Great to meet you!

Some things stay buried for years before you are finally ready to look at them. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults carrying trauma, grief, family conflict, and depression. Some of my clients come to me in the middle of a crisis. Others come because something from the past is quietly running their present. In either case, you deserve a space that is honest and supportive while you do the hard work of becoming more like the version of yourself you want to be.

My approach to therapy

Over 30 years working in schools, community organizations, and clinical settings has shaped how I understand the people I work with. What you carry is connected to far more than one moment. It is shaped by the relationships, environments, and family patterns that formed you. Together, we build a personalized plan around your specific goals and strengths, always honoring your culture and experiences. I bring deep experience supporting survivors of trauma, abuse, neglect, and family crises, and our work centers on helping you feel safer, more resilient, and more capable of lasting change. The clients who tend to do best with me are those who are ready to move at their own pace and willing to be honest about what has been hard.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I start by listening. My approach is to first understand your goals, then collaborate on a plan that actually fits your life. You can expect an honest, supportive conversation where we begin to figure out what healing looks like for you specifically. If you are ready to take that step, I would love to connect.
