Life can be tough, and we all face moments when we question ourselves or feel overwhelmed. I know firsthand what it’s like to face major life transitions and challenges, and I believe that the survival skills you’ve leaned on until now are a testament to your resilience.  Together, we’ll explore how those tools have served you and discover new strategies to help you move forward confidently.

With over 35 years of experience, I offer a down-to-earth, non-judgmental approach. I’m here to create a compassionate and safe space where you can delve into your experiences at your own pace. Our sessions will focus on your strengths, recognizing both the challenges and the qualities that have brought you this far.

Therapy with me goes beyond talk; it’s about collaboration. We’ll work together to reduce stress, enhance clarity, and foster deeper self-connection. You’ll gain practical tools and insights to manage emotions and doubts.

The hardest part is often making that first call, but if you’re ready, I’m here to help you take the next step and shape a new chapter on your own terms.
