The late baseball philosopher Yogi Berra used to say something like "if you don't know where you are going, you'll probably wind up someplace else". If you want to clarify your objective in life, or if you want to get back on the path to achieving that objective, it would be my honor to be your partner along that journey.

I have been married for 17 years and have 3 adult step children, a son-in-law and 3 grandchildren. I also have 2 cats that are important members of the family. Family is something I view to be a living entity, challenging at times, and I have come value over the years. My life experiences have given me insight and perspectives that allow me to make unique connections with my clients. I learned that life is ever changing. I have come to realize is that during times when we feel defeated, it does not mean we are unable to change the outcome or our quality of life in the future. Nor, is it too late to create the life we do want.

As a therapist specializing in trauma, relational issues, parenting challenges, and teen and adolescent therapy, I understand the deep need to feel heard, accepted, and validated.

Do you need a space where you can open up without fear of judgment and seek understanding and support to navigate life's challenges?

My journey to becoming a counselor started from a young age when I realized I felt things on a deep level... or at least cried more than the other guys! For a long time I struggled with my sensitivity, thinking less of myself for lacking the control to ignore or suppress my feelings. However, over time I found that my sensitivity allowed me to empathize with others on a unique level, and that in owning and sharing my feelings, others felt more comfortable to do the same. As a result, it is my aim to provide individuals a safe space to share their struggles and develop tools to feel confident in their ability to cope with life.

It is an honor to work with clients in their most vulnerable times, especially those struggling with eating disorders and women struggling with chronic illness, grief, life changes, divorce, and trauma (especially abuse and domestic violence). I can help you discover healing, strength and hope in whatever difficult circumstances you're in and have been through. So often, we are worried about taking care of others and feel guilty for taking care of ourselves... But you are worthy of this investment in yourself!
