Personally and professionally we all experience change, and I am no exception.  Before entering the field of marriage and family therapy, I was a teacher for 15 years.  Even as a therapist, I believe strongly in the learning process.  Learning  and curiosity create understanding and a more secure sense of ourselves.

In my practice I am drawn to experiences of change and transition that create unique opportunities to deepen our insight into self.  The Empty Nest journey is one such transition.  So normal and yet filled with so much change, thoughts and emotions.  When we surround ourselves with support during these moments of change, we give ourselves the greatest chance to move through feeling connected and able to face the next moment in our life.  Please contact me if you are seeking support

Giving back and staying connected to community is another aspect of both my personal and professional life.  I am currently working as a supervisor, consultant and therapist for pre-licensed and licensed therapists.  My position offers me the opportunity to continue my passion for learning while helping  therapists develop their own professional identities and passions.  

Life will always create transitions.  If you are looking for a safe and guiding experience through your personal journey of change, please reach out.

The world can feel unpredictable, heavy, and overwhelming. But uncertainty doesn’t have to lead to paralysis. Together, we explore how to stay rooted and engaged without being consumed by fear—how to cultivate connection, resilience, and a sense of purpose even as the ground shifts beneath us. To fully acknowledge the weight of our personal struggles, the suffering of others, and the state of the planet, while still finding the courage to take meaningful action.

For me, this begins with slowing down—meeting the present moment with honesty and acceptance, no matter how challenging. My deepest intention is to offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and curious space where you can explore yourself with depth and clarity. I draw inspiration from the natural world and Buddhist and Eastern philosophies, which remind us of our interconnectedness and the importance of living with love and reciprocity. 

My hope is that through our work together, you cultivate greater kindness toward yourself, deepening your insight into how your past shapes your present, how you engage in relationships, and how you find meaning in this strange, complicated, heartbreaking, and beautiful life. It would be an honor to walk this path with you.
