Life can bring about transitions that are both expected, and unexpected. Examples of this can be a shift in your job, stepping in or out of a relationship, traumatic events or moving to a new environment. You may find yourself in a place of disarray, confusion, or uncertainty which may result in anxiety, depression, or both. Major growth spurts often feel incredibly challenging when they’re happening! Certain changes can be good, while others tragic. Yet even then, the right approach to handling that change can lead you to positive personal growth. My hope is that, together, we can work towards that type of growth for you.

As a career shifter, I also support with exploring career transitions and burnout.
Life is complex and therapy can be difficult. But by accepting the "messiness", we can come closer to developing compassion and understanding for ourselves and others. Therapy is your space to process thoughts and experiences, celebrate your strengths, and heal. This can get uncomfortable, and that's ok. My role is to provide a collaborative environment grounded in mutual respect, open-mindedness, and curiosity to help you achieve your goals.

(She/Her/Hers) Over the years, I have built a practice devoted to improving the lives of people from a wide variety of backgrounds, struggling with a number of different issues. More recently, I have shifted my focus from clinical practice to the training of pre-licensed and early career therapists. I very much enjoy mentoring as it gives me the opportunity to share all that I have learned in my two decades of providing psychotherapy.

I work well with adult children of alcoholics, transitions (relationship, career, lifestage), occupational issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, panic, fertility, postpartum, and family/relationship issues.
I offer practical, solution-focused goal-oriented psychotherapy aimed at timely symptom relief and problem resolution. My clients, being adults, determine their own therapy goals and agenda. My style is respectful, but interactive. I do not tell my clients what to do but I will always tell you honestly how I feel about the things that you present. I believe therapy should be time-limited and results-oriented, NOT a life-long continuous process. I believe that people can change, or else I would not be in this business. I delight in helping people master the tools which facilitate desired change.
