35 years in practice

Big feelings, real loss, family chaos? I work with people to call it out, laugh when we can, and actually move forward.

I’ve spent over 35 years working with people as a therapist, which means I’ve seen a lot—and very little surprises me anymore. I bring that experience (and a well-timed sense of humor) into my work with teens (13+), adults, families, and older adults. I also work closely with clients navigating grief and loss, and I don’t shy away from those heavier seasons of life. We’ll face them head-on—together. In the past, I've worked veterans, active duty, and military families as well. I’m the kind of therapist who will sit with you in the hard moments, celebrate your wins, and gently (but honestly) call you out when you’re getting in your own way. Therapy with me isn’t stiff or overly polished—it’s real, engaging, and sometimes a little bit blunt in the best way. If you’re looking for someone to just nod along, I’m probably not your person. If you’re ready for honest conversations, meaningful growth, and a few well-timed reality checks, we’ll get along just fine.
