Therapy style
Are you feeling overwhelmed by challenges in your life such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties? Know that there is hope and help available. I am a licensed therapist with 27 years of experience and I'm here to support and guide you. I offer a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where you can explore what is contributing to your struggles, and work towards finding solutions. My goal is to empower you to find balance and to make positive changes in your relationships and overall well-being.
I use a strengths-based approach and help you uncover your innate capacity to find what will work best for you. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and IFS (Internal Family Systems) to help you process past traumas and move forward with confidence and clarity.
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.

Interests
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.
