My goal is to help my patient’s navigate their journey of life. Having traveled through many personal challenges, I bring much of my life's experiences into the therapeutic realm. I believe in growth and acceptance of one's place in the present. I have found the way in which we move through the world is usually the path of what is familiar to us, but too often this way no longer serves us. Shifting our way of thinking can stimulate an alternative pathway of moving through the world and achieving the peace of mind we seek.
Whether you are struggling with an eating disorder, drug or alcohol abuse, additive behaviors, relationship issues, I provide an inviting environment to begin your journey of discovery. I have extensive experience in all matters of human suffering, especially with grief and loss. Simply put, my passion is helping to make a difference in my patient’s lives.
After experiencing a tremendous personal loss 26 years ago, I returned to school mid-life and began my journey of becoming a mental health care professional. I have worked extensively in the recover community. My training has brought me a broad psychological field of modalities to draw from. I love what I do and I do what I love.
