With more than 20 years of experience working with adults, teens, and families, I am passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges and create meaningful change. I strive to provide a warm, compassionate, and supportive environment where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.

Whether you are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, life transitions, or overwhelming emotions, I will work alongside you to identify your strengths and develop practical tools to help you move forward. I believe change is possible, and my goal is to help you build greater resilience, improve relationships, and create a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.

My approach is person-centered and collaborative, incorporating techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic approaches, and solution-focused therapy to meet your unique needs and goals.
