Great to meet you!

My background as a hospital and school nurse, as well as a parent of adult children gives me a holistic view of individuals. Whether we are navigating relationships together, resolving grief, relieving anxiety or other concerns, I use my positive regard to see, hear and understand what my client is saying. I believe each of your sessions unfolds possibilities for healing. I am passionate about helping clients.

My approach to therapy

Our start involves seeing and hearing what you are saying. I have to hear you in order to help you. I believe the therapist applies knowledge and skill where it is needed to support the individual. My approach tends to be solution focused, but there are also times that we need a client led approach instead.

What you can expect from me

My goals are encouragement and hope. I want you to feel heard and seen. The environment we create is full of work, purpose and growth.
