My Ideal Client

Now accepting in-person appointments! Life transitions touch us all—whether it’s divorce, an empty nest, menopause, career dissatisfaction, or retirement. Are you feeling stuck or uncertain about your next step? Change can feel overwhelming and even frightening, leaving you questioning your ability to navigate it successfully. You may feel helpless, sad, or even angry—but there is hope. You are resilient, and together, we can unlock your inner strength to create meaningful, positive change.

My Approach to Helping

In 2000, I earned my master’s degree in counseling with a heartfelt mission to help people create positive change and transformation in their lives. I believe we all hold the power within us to shape our future and live authentically. My goal is to help you identify and build on your strengths, guiding you toward a life filled with purpose and meaning. Together, we’ll work to uncover your power, navigate challenges, and move forward with hope, clarity, and support. Using a blend of positive and cognitive theoretical frameworks, I help clients embrace change and overcome obstacles to living a fulfilling life. I listen with compassion and understanding, fostering a strong therapeutic connection to empower you to take action and create the life you deserve.

Why I am a Good Fit for You

My goal is to support you in uncovering what may be holding you back while highlighting and harnessing your unique strengths. Together, we'll nurture your inner potential, guiding you toward a life that feels authentic, purposeful, and fulfilling. With hope, clarity, and meaningful support, we’ll chart a path forward that empowers you to thrive.
