As a therapist and group facilitator, I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I provide a caring and supportive relationship to clients to help them grow and change in positive ways. I enjoy working with families to create more productive and supportive family dynamics. I love working with clients to help empower them to process and heal from adverse and traumatic life experiences, change unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors, and explore and overcome shame messages that are keeping them from living a wholehearted life as well as foster hope and move towards more authentic living.

I specialize in guiding partners and families toward more fulfilling connections.
Hello! I empower people weighed down by anxiety, anger, and distrust to lead fuller, more enriching lives. I also help those who feel disconnected from their families and partners to rebuild and revitalize their relationships. I offer a uniquely relational and personal approach to therapy. I dive into interpersonal dynamics, uncover unconscious perspectives, tap into the wisdom of the body, and harness your hidden strengths to help you find greater wholeness and enrichment in life.

I approach the therapeutic relationship through a compassionate, trauma-informed, IFS (Internal Family Systems) lens.
We have all been through transitions where our sense of wholeness and balance have been in need of healing. For over 25 years it has been an honor to hold that space for clients as they process life's more challenging issues from abuse, trauma, shame and broken relationships to everyday life stress and self-esteem. I look forward to hearing your story and helping you re-discover your best self. I enjoy working with families, parents, couples and individuals with diverse issues. I welcome the opportunity for our paths to cross! I am excited to announce the expansion of my practice with the addition of Ian Adams and Ross Moffatt!

It is my honor to partner together in therapy with you.
It takes courage to be vulnerable, to step into the therapy space, to be open to the process. My approach is to offer a compassionate and supportive space to remind you that none of us need to journey alone. You don’t have to have it figured out. It's all about taking the next step.

I am certified in the EFT approach to couples therapy and the EFIT approach to individual therapy.
Your lived experience is complex and beautiful. When life upends what once felt stable, you might question how to move forward. Through the lenses of attachment theory and mind-body connection, I help clients understand the "why" of their symptoms and the validity of their experience. Together, we find a way forward that feels authentic, life-giving, and even more beautiful than before. I hold safe, collaborative and affirming space for all.

I enjoy working with teens 16+, individuals, and couples. I am passionate about working through addiction issues and the resulting codependency/boundaries, guilt, and shame.

I am passionate about helping others reach their goals by offering a safe environment where you can begin to find your way through trauma, anxiety and depression to repair broken connections, or make new connections through individual and couples counseling.
Do you feel as if you have lost your way, like connections that were once there have somehow been severed due to trauma, anxiety or depression? Have you wondered how to regain or re-kindle those relationships with others? Sometimes on the journey through life, our ability to navigate can become overwhelming and confusing. It is during these times that having someone to support and encourage you in finding ways to mend relationships or make new connections can be useful.
