As a licensed therapist with nearly three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on helping clients work through challenges including stress, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem issues, and significant life transitions. I am certified in meditation and Ayurvedic wellness and coaching. I am deeply committed to creating a compassionate, supportive environment where individuals can explore their inner experiences and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth. My approach centers on empowering clients to build self-love, improve communication, and discover their life purpose. With extensive expertise in addressing social anxiety, workplace challenges, relationship dynamics, and midlife transitions, I offer a nuanced and understanding perspective.

I accept that we all bump or run into rough patches in our life journey. It can be easy or difficult to match up with a person to work through these rough patches. I have been in health care for 40 years and professional counseling for 20 years. I have witnessed a great deal of suffering and spiritual and emotional growth, in others and myself. I take time to learn about the person who comes my way. I believe not every "technique" fits every person. I find using EMDR or guided imagery to reveal a person's deeper concerns fairly quickly, but I draw from other techniques and educational approaches as seems best fit. I am someone who embraces the effectiveness of 12 step programs for a possible solution to addictive compulsions but I totally accept those sorts of approaches are not for everyone .I will forward handouts I think might be helpful to you to guide a session or for later review by you. I look forward to meeting you at this time in your life journey.
