My Bio
We each have our own challenges in life that may impact our relationships, emotions, self-worth, or daily functioning. As a licensed psychotherapist, I am skilled to guide you through your experiences, relationships, thoughts, and feelings so that you are able to begin to understand where your hurts, unhealthy behaviors, thoughts, perceptions, and role in relationships come from.
Many of us have unresolved wounds from our childhoods that we are unable to understand or process. For some, recent events may have presented challenges that need help processing or help coping with. By gaining a new understanding of ourselves and learning new ways to cope, the groundwork for health and wellness can be established.
Areas of Specialization & Approach
I specialize in working with adults (18+). Some common issues that I help clients work through include trauma (PTSD/Complex PTSD), personality disorders, relationship issues, low self-worth, anxiety, depression, issues related to identity, neurodivergence, LGBTQ+ issues, grief, life transitions, and stress.
I utilize integrative, evidence-based frameworks to address the issues you present with. Together, we will create a treatment approach and plan that works for you.

My Philosophy
I have been in practice for 30 years and am very lucky to love my job. I am passionate about helping others overcome barriers to achieving their therapeutic goals and learning coping skills to help make life more fulfilling and comfortable.
I have an inclusive, nonjudgmental, caring, open, and down-to-earth personality that helps facilitate the process of trust building. I will help you identify the core issues that underlie your current issues that may be serving as a barrier to wellness. We will work collaboratively toward your goals. I work from a wide variety of modalities and will tailor my approach to your specific needs.
I look forward to meeting you and becoming part of your wellness journey.
