Hello, I am a therapist who loves listening to people’s life stories more than giving advice. I am especially interested in helping women find their inner strength and appreciating their own unique talents. I use client centered therapy, and have just added ketamine assisted psychotherapy. I have 30+ years of experience with elderly, adults, families and children. But I am also a potter, a house flipper, and an avid traveler to beautiful places around the world. I look forward to meeting you and helping you reach out for your dreams.
I can help you discover your talents and activities that bring you happiness. Ketamine assisted psychotherapy can help you break out of that underlying sadness that has plagued you for years.
If you feel alone, and are struggling with your feelings, I can help. Together we will find a path you can follow. Call me. We can chat and see if we’re a good fit.
