About me

With more than 30 years of experience as a therapist and educational leader, I provide supportive, solution-focused therapy to help individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges. My career has spanned private practice and leadership roles in special services, giving me a deep understanding of both personal struggles and systemic stressors that impact well-being.

I specialize in working with:

Adolescents and young adults managing stress, anxiety, or life transitions

Adults facing relationship challenges, work stress, or major life changes

Couples seeking healthier communication and deeper connection

Families navigating conflict, parenting concerns, or special needs support

My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I believe therapy should be a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to make positive changes. Drawing from decades of direct counseling and leadership in school systems, I bring both compassion and clarity to help clients gain insight, build resilience, and move toward their goals.

Credentials:
