Life is change. During our life span, we experience constant changes and choices. Some of these changes and transitions are more difficult than others. Often, a helping hand is needed as we traverse these situations, whether a new job, a new relationship, or a loss. We can navigate these changes together. Learning and growth have no age requirements or limitations. I have been a licensed public school counselor for 8 years and taught adolescents in the U.S. and abroad, and online since 2000. I am a Clinical Mental Health Counseling intern currently under supervision until December 2024.

I collaborate with people of all gender identities, sexual identities, and cultural identities, from children to adults years 18 & older, in my 15-year career.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, in a “funk,” lonely, or out-of-sorts? Do you feel you have to put on a face to show that you have it all together? Do you feel sadness or anxiety from past experiences or current events? Maybe it's hard even to pinpoint. It can be hard to ask for help, but coming here is a significant first step toward living a fuller, happier life. As a therapist, my goal is to provide a space where you can feel understood, supported, and empowered. I truly believe that effective therapy is grounded in a genuine and collaborative relationship between the client and therapist.

Or, maybe you’re in your 20’s, and career counseling, life coaching, or help navigating relationship issues could help you unlock and discern the next steps for your career and fulfilling relationships. Whatever you’re going through, you deserve to feel empowered and have a safe place to explore your own desires and next steps.

Any profession in the healing arts is not just a job but a calling; and I take seriously my calling to serve you at your most vulnerable.
Where do I begin and the life experiences that shaped me end? We all go through times where we stumble on the question "Who am I?" No matter what the issue, my hope for you is not perfection or happiness. The goal for our time together is wholeness; because through authenticity, anything in life becomes possible. This is true for individual adults and children, as well as for families and couples.

Coming to counseling as a second career, I've lived a lot of life, and I know it can be hard.
Stuck? Frustrated? Yearning? I love helping clients reconnect with themselves and find what feels good. I work with healing trauma, disconnection, anxiety/depression, and existential crisis or life transition. I specialize in body and emotional awareness and reconnection, inviting relationships with all parts of Self, giving air to what's beneath our masks, moving what needs to be moved, and relaxing into wholeness. I welcome adults of all genders, faiths, and dispositions. I bring creativity, laughter, tenderness and honesty to our sessions. "We're all just walking each other home." -Ram Dass

I transitioned into counseling in mid-life, following a 30+ year career in engineering and leadership, so I can relate to work and life struggles.
Our world expects so much from people and we are often able to do it all, for a while. Sometimes expectations, both ours and others, smother us and leave us feeling hopeless. We might not be able to move forward in our career, despite excelling in our work. Sometimes we bury emotions, thinking I’ll get to that later, which may result in feeling overwhelmed or feeling nothing at all. Perhaps the demands of career, family, and caring for others leave us feeling exhausted and guilt-ridden. Possibly what has always worked, doesn’t seem to work anymore. Peace may feel out of reach.
