About

I advocate for every person's right to improve their lives and to seek a better understanding of themselves and their process to resolve conflict. I form an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment, and we build our relationship together. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change, and I am here to support & empower you in that journey together.

Frequently asked

I work with adults who are facing a variety of emotional and mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, and personal growth. With more than 30 years of experience in behavioral health, I enjoy helping clients gain greater self-awareness, improve their emotional well-being, and navigate life's challenges with confidence.
I believe therapy is built on trust, respect, and collaboration. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings openly. Together, we'll explore the challenges you're facing, gain a better understanding of your experiences, and develop practical strategies that support lasting growth and positive change.
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and discuss what has brought you to therapy. We'll talk about your current concerns, your personal goals, and what you hope to gain from counseling. I strive to create a welcoming and supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered from the very beginning.
Absolutely. Beginning therapy can feel intimidating, and it's normal to have questions or feel uncertain. Seeking support is a courageous step, and you don't need to have everything figured out before your first session. I'll meet you where you are, help guide the conversation, and work alongside you as we move toward the goals that are most meaningful to you.
Yes. I provide secure telehealth therapy sessions, allowing you to receive counseling from the comfort and privacy of your own home. Virtual therapy offers the same compassionate, personalized care as in-person counseling while providing the flexibility to fit therapy into your daily life.
