About me

I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows you the client and/or family to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. My focus is on supporting, counseling, teaching and helping clients develop skills to navigate life trajectories with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life. If that's what you're looking for, I am here when you're ready to share.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Together, we will identify your challenges and goals - where you want your life and/or that of your family to be a month, six months, a year from now. We will identify options and strategies you can use to meet those goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength as a provider over thirty years is meeting my clients' needs through open communication, respect, and trust, while nurturing and facilitating their personal growth.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My job is working with and supporting children and families and couples.
