Introduction

I am a dedicated and compassionate licensed mental health therapist with over two decades of experience supporting individuals on their journey to emotional well-being. I provide services in my virtual private practice where you can expect a safe and confidential space for seeking growth, healing, and balance. As a seasoned therapist, I specialize in addiction, medical conditions, chronic pain, and relationships working with adults including ages 65+. I utilize a collaborative, integrative approach, drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, and person-centered techniques to tailor each session to the unique needs of clients. I am committed to ongoing professional development and regularly attend workshops and training courses to stay current with the latest evidence-based practices. I am passionate about helping clients build resilience, improve self-awareness, and develop effective coping strategies for life’s challenges. I believe in the power of a strong therapeutic relationship and strive to foster trust, empathy, and empowerment in every session. Outside of my practice, I enjoy hiking, reading, and volunteering in my local community.
