Stress impacts us all and oftentimes impacts our relationships, family life, school, work, or simply our overall quality of life.
Hope can be hard to come by in times of daily struggles and distress. But it’s also what keeps us walking down the hallways of life toward healing and relief. My goal has always been to help others find hope for their future. Hope when life brings challenges, hope despite the past, hope in the present, and hope for what’s to come. I believe every person has the ability to overcome and heal with even the smallest spark of hope. I have spent much of my career helping others develop skills to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as working through couple, family, and other relationship unit issues.

I have been lucky enough to work with families who are navigating these issues for two decades. I am honored to share my knowledge and experiences with parents and families as they begin the process of reorganizing and redefining roles within the family while focusing on the best interests of their children. No parent is perfect - especially me! - but through the safety of the therapeutic relationship we can navigate these changes and help your family thrive.

For 20+ years I've worked with clients to address depression, anxiety, chronic pain, relationship issues, substance use reduction or elimination, trauma, family conflict, etc.
Ever wonder, "why is this so hard?" "How did I find myself here?" "What do I do now?" You may feel hopeless or stuck. The desire to get unstuck - to make changes and show up for life in a happier, healthier way - is a noble one. The therapeutic relationship provides a safe, sacred space for you to explore new possibilities, especially as the journey may feel overwhelming at times. We often uncover thoughts, beliefs and behaviors that no longer serve you well. Through a variety of interventions, tailored to your individual needs, change IS possible! It is never too late to start caring for ourselves and others more effectively.
