“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.”
-Carl Rogers
Hello and welcome! Reaching out for support takes courage, and my goal is to meet you exactly where you are. I believe you inherently know what’s best for you, and my role is to offer a compassionate, collaborative space where you feel heard, understood, and supported as you move forward.
Therapy with me is not only about addressing difficulties, it’s also about understanding yourself more deeply and creating change that feels realistic and meaningful. My work is informed by my training as a psychologist and over a decade in adult learning, which has deepened my respect for how people grow through reflection, curiosity, and real-life application. This means our work stays practical, collaborative, and rooted in what matters most to you.
I work with adults navigating a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, anxiety, chronic pain, depression, grief, relationship problems, low self-esteem, stress, trauma, and major life transitions. I’m deeply drawn to helping individuals navigate midlife, a time that often brings profound reflection, change, and complexity. I provide a space to explore what you’re feeling, clarify values and goals, address identity shifts, build coping strategies, and plan for what comes next. This work often addresses issues like career dissatisfaction, relationship strain, loss of direction or purpose, physical and hormonal challenges, mood and anxiety concerns, and the emotional impact of experiences like managing the teenage years or caring for aging parents.

Whether you’re seeking clarity, growth, or a renewed sense of confidence, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Together, we can work toward a life that feels more authentic, meaningful, and fulfilling.
