I practice from a person-centered foundation while utilizing CBT interventions in session to enact self- acceptance and provide clients the tools needed for change. I strive to make conversations about mental health and self-care relatable, safe, fun, and empowering. I believe it is a privilege to gently and genuinely hold space for and guide clients through some of the most significant, or potentially difficult, experiences of their lives while collaboratively working towards self-growth and healing.

With over 30 years of clinical experience, I offer practical steps and guidance that promote awareness and forward movement with the challenges brought to therapy. Are you going through a difficult time overwhelmed with emotion, or working hard and aiming to please but find you are worn out and satisfying no one, including yourself?

You find yourself burnt out from the constant lies, manipulation, apologies and promises of change. You struggle to find the line between supportive and enabling. Others don’t understand why you continue to stay, but you know there is more to your partner than their addiction.
