Don’t miss a possible opportunity to walk through that door.  Our lives are defined by opportunities. 

F. Scott Fitzgerald

As a strength-based clinician, I work from a systemic orientation to creatively and compassionately build non-judgmental relationships in order to collaborate with individuals, couples and families as they walk the path toward hope and healing. 

As an AAMFT supervisory candidate, I offer supervision to provisionally Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists moving toward full licensure. 

Working in the non-profit world for many years, I’ve seen first hand the resiliency of the human spirit in overcoming trauma, tragedy and challenging life circumstances.  I value individuals as experts in their own lives, understanding the immense internal resources and ability to navigate toward answers when given a safe space and time to share and be heard with a listening, empathetic partner.

Moving from my non-profit work in community service into mental health therapy was a natural progression.  With the support of my amazing, energetic and large blended family, I sought licensure in Marriage and Family Therapy. It has been a terrific fit and feels just right.  I absolutely believe we are forged by our past and current experiences and every relationship that touches our lives. This is why I chose systemic therapy and am humbled and honored to sit with individuals as they discover their way forward.  

I believe my own life experiences with all of its challenges, chaos and beauty, work and training provide me with expertise in walking with folks 

  • relationship challenges including negative patterns of communication and behavior, infidelity and/or separation/divorce/blending families 
  • individuals struggling with past experiences, present events, trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions and/or addiction
  • women feeling lost due to family role changes, disappointment and trauma, working to discover and uncover a future vision and path toward emotional healing and a fresh start
  • college graduates and young adults seeking their way 
  • members of the LGBTQ+ community including trans and gender fluidity
  • folks battling chronic illness and/or recent diagnoses 

Offering both telehealth and in-person sessions,  I am committed to building collaborative, supportive partnerships and would love to partner with you on your journey.
