Life can bring unexpected changes such as the loss of a loved one, relationship shifts, career changes, or other transitions that leave you feeling overwhelmed or unsure of the next step. My goal is to provide a compassionate space where you can process your experiences, feel truly heard, and begin to move forward at your own pace.

Entering therapy can be intimidating. Finding a professional who can help and is a

personal fit can seem not worth the effort. . She specializes in a variety of diagnoses

including addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, stress management, anger management,

self-esteem, trauma, relationship challenges and major life transitions. She offers a

safe environment where individuals and couples can celebrate their strengths and also

do the necessary but difficult work toward shared goals, and ongoing open

communication for each family member. She follows the models of Family Systems,

Cognitive Behavioral and Brief Therapy. Therapy includes individual as well as

couples-family therapy.

Reaching out can be difficult, especially when dealing with everyday stresses brought

on by a single challenge or a culmination of many challenges. Many times, simply

identifying patterns, building coping skills, and strengthening individual and family

connections can set change in motion.

Thank you for considering me as a support and gentle guide. Please know you don’t

have to figure things out by yourself. When ready, I’ll meet you where you are and help

you move forward to self-discovery, growth, and healing.
