I work great with...

Are ready to grow at their own pace—you don’t have to have it all figured out. If you’re open to personal growth and curious about what’s possible, I’ll be right there beside you, offering steady support along the way.
Want to understand the connection between mind, body, and emotions—if you’ve ever felt like something was “off” but couldn’t quite name it, we can explore those layers together and help things begin to make sense.
Feel ready to let go of old habits or patterns that no longer serve you—whether they come from long-held beliefs, past experiences, or just life doing what life does, we’ll focus on creating new ways of being that feel meaningful and more aligned with who you are now.
Are open to looking within—with both courage and kindness—you don’t have to do it alone. Together, we’ll explore your unique strengths and uncover the kind of life that feels deeply authentic and truly satisfying.
Want to cultivate lasting well-being—not just quick fixes, but real, sustainable growth. I’ll help you nurture a strong foundation of inner stability, clarity, and self-trust that supports you now and in the years to come.

Style & Approach

With a wealth of life experience informing my work, I bring a grounded, compassionate presence to therapy—guided by the belief that it’s never too late to grow, heal, or find new meaning. I offer a supportive space where adults of all ages can reflect, regroup, and reconnect with what truly matters. Whether you're facing a major life transition or simply feeling stuck, we’ll work together to explore what’s getting in the way and uncover new paths forward—ones that feel more aligned with the life you want to live.

I especially enjoy working with clients who are ready to engage thoughtfully in their own growth and open to exploring new perspectives. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship dynamics, or simply adjusting to life’s many curveballs, I’m here to help you tap into your own resilience and build tools that fit you. My style is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they do this meaningful, often transformative work.

Fun Facts

Relaxing for me is all about calm, peaceful surroundings whether inside or out

and long, deep breaths of clean air.

My favorite outdoor activities are gardening and cool, shaded walks.

Self-care for me is meditation, cooking and sharing good food, gardening and

sharing its bounties, watching movies, reading a good story.

I love learning about the human experience and what makes us all tick.

For me, creativity is in what I do with my home and garden, sometimes even in

what I wear.

I feel calm and content when meditating, listening to natural sounds like rain

and distant thunder or a stream running its course.

My favorite quote is, “Life is not measured by the number of moments you live

but by the moments that take your breath away.”
