About Me
With 25 years of experience, I specialize in working with individuals who have histories of trauma, anger, relationship and family issues, depression, and anxiety. I take an individualized approach, focusing on leveraging each client's strengths and ensuring personalized and compassionate care.
I've been described as "down to earth" and "non-judgmental" by my clients. I understand firsthand the challenges of depression, anxiety, and chronic pain, having experienced these myself. This personal understanding allows me to provide truly empathetic and effective therapy.

What To Expect
During our first few sessions, I will ask a lot of questions so together we can understand you and your problems better. You can expect to explore how and when the problem presents itself, and what has and has not worked in the past. We will work together on a plan of how you feel we can best address those problems. YOU are the expert on yourself, and I will always respect your choices! By the end of our first session, though, you can expect to take away some practical tools to help you quickly begin your journey to living a more fulfilling life. You will always feel supported, sometimes challenged, but never judged. My approach is centered around helping you leverage your strengths, ensuring that you receive personalized and compassionate care.
I am passionate about this work because I personally understand the hopelessness of depression and anxiety, having struggled with it myself. I strive to learn what makes you unique, and how we can use that to help you navigate your challenges and achieve personal growth. I specialize in working with people with a history of trauma (physical, sexual, emotional and medical). Those of us who have experienced trauma often struggle with our relationships, having frequent outbursts of anger, substance use, depression and anxiety. Of course, trauma is not always the cause of these difficulties, and we can explore that more in depth, as well. I also help people struggling with chronic pain and medical issues, as I understand the long-term consequences these issues cause firsthand.
