I use a strengths-based approach and help you uncover your innate capacity to find what will work best for you.

Whether it’s reducing stress, improving relationships, or finding balance, I am committed to helping you achieve your goals and live a more fulfilling life. Remember, you are not alone, and I’m committed to helping you with your next step. Let’s work together to start your journey toward a life of greater happiness and fulfillment.

I have had the opportunity to work through my own life challenges. I first considered becoming a therapist because I had learned so much in my own healing process and I wanted to give others hope. That is my goal with every client with whom I work - to provide hope.

I like to travel, I enjoy hiking and walking on the beach. I love the time spent with my four adult children, as well as my husband of 32 years. I must admit I am always engaged in learning and reinforcing my knowledge with respect to this field. It really is a passion for me, and my intent is to continue to grow.

I am a supporter of Human Options, a DV shelter where people can go to find safety and the support they need to change their lives and the lives of their children. I volunteered there on my own to answer their hotline, and then later when my daughter was a teenager, we provided snacks and movie nights for the children. It was fulfilling to provide them with a place of safety and hope.
