I am a therapist, wife of 24+ years, devoted mother of 2 young adults, reliable friend, avid reader, researcher, writer, binge watcher of enjoyable shows, board gamer, walker, hiker, yoga participant and animal lover.
Although I enjoy working with everyone, my areas of supportive interest include supporting couples to better communicate and helping adults, adolescents (Ages 12+) and families. I believe in providing a judgement-free and strengths based environment, focused on personal growth, healing and finding creative solutions. I strive to empower clients to trust themselves and their healing process.
