Therapy style
I believe in the healing power of gentle curiosity and deep listening. My clients' safety and comfort are my highest priority. I will help you identify your goals for therapy and share my vision for how we can work together to achieve them. My career extends over 25 years of helping people harness their strengths to overcome obstacles and get stronger and happier.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Metaphor and Somatic practices to help my clients achieve their therapy goals and gain insight into themselves and life.

I am a dedicated dog mom! Lots of walking and hiking gives me time to stay current on professionally-related podcasts and audio books. I also love Conan Needs a Friend and This American Life.
