About My Clients

I specialize in adolescents, teens, college students, and young adults in these areas: Anxiety: Learn to manage and ease feelings of worry, restlessness, nervousness, tension and fear. Depression: Regain hope and happiness and alleviate feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness, or apathy. Family and Relationships: Learn to navigate dysfunctional relationships and restore harmony. Addiction: Regain control of your life by reducing or eliminating your use of alcohol or marijuana.

My Background and Approach

Using a holistic approach, I will carefully listen to your needs and use individually tailored methods combined with compassion and skills garnered from 20-plus years as a wife, mother, and business executive. I love adding mindfulness practices to client sessions, if desired, and focus on creating a safe space for clients to heal and grow. ​ When working with you or your loved one, I work collaboratively with your other providers and school resources to help ensure we are all working towards achieving the same goals. ​ All who are looking to increase happiness in their lives are welcome. I am currently accepting new clients for in-person or telehealth sessions and offer evening hours. If you think I may be a good fit for you or a family member, please reach out. I offer sliding scale fees on an as needed basis.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in equality for all people, regardless of race, religion, creed, or sexual/ gender orientation. I strongly support the LGBTQ+ community and have many clients in this area. For many years, I volunteered with an international orphanage, helping to place children in loving families. I also have a special place in my heart for animals — particularly my two dogs, Gatsby and Dinness.
