I came to this work later in life, after a rich and varied career spanning the performing arts, engineering, and criminal defense in the justice system. These experiences shaped how I show up as a therapist: grounded, curious, open, attuned to the complexities of being human, as well as the potentially overwhelming challenges of simply working for a living, which may not be simple at all. While I do not have 30 years in private practice, I bring a lifetime of insight, perspective, and real-world practicality to every session.
I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling and am a Certified Medical Support Clinical Hypnotherapist (CMS-CHt). Above all, I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where you feel seen, heard, and supported—just as you are.
My approach is person-centered and collaborative—rooted in the belief that the therapeutic relationship is the most powerful part of the work. You are the expert on your life, and I’m here to support your journey with care, compassion, and a wide range of tools. Depending on your needs, we might use approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindful Self-Compassion, Hypnotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and more.
