I am a white, cisgendered female and late-in-life lesbian who has over 15 years of mental health experience working with diverse populations. I have supported many individuals with their coming out process as well as nurturing traumatic pasts.

I believe that inside of all of us lives our ability to connect with all the tools and energy to live a powerful life. Sometimes things happen and we lose sight of that connection and it is necessary to work with someone to ask the tough questions and be an empathic witness on our courageous step into self-discovery. My goal is to empower you to call the inner pieces of yourself out of the shadows, give them a powerful, authentic voice and truly embrace them.

My focus has been on relationship issues, anxiety, trauma, shame, stress, grief/loss, coping with pain/illness, co-dependency, sexuality, etc. I enjoy integrating humor, mindfulness, stress management, creativity, solution-focus, relationship skills, spirituality (when relevant), and education. I teach effective coping skills for you to utilize in your life.

It takes courage to begin the search for the right therapist and I’m committed to maintaining your momentum regardless of whether I end up being the right therapist for you. I look forward to speaking with you to discuss how I may be of service.
