My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and grounded in the belief that every adult has an inner capacity for healing and change when they feel safe and supported. I walk alongside you as you move through what’s been holding you back—so that you can move into your radiance.
I incorporate what I learned in business and offer career coaching, communication skills, and navigating your career path, as well as working with depression, anxiety, grief, and loss, including divorce, retirement, chronic pain, etc.

“If nothing changes, nothing changes.”
Heartache, addiction, pain, and feelings of being stuck are all signals that something is not working for you. The beauty of any pain is that, when another can lovingly hold it, it has an excellent capacity to alchemize into something rich and meaningful. But you can’t do that by being in your head, because if knowledge alone could heal it, therapy wouldn’t be in such demand. We are relational beings, and we heal in relationship. We need someone who can help us metabolize our pain so that we can be released from its bondage and start to take steps to create a meaningful life.
Does finding a partner feel demoralizing? Does it feel like you don’t have what it takes to be in a healthy relationship?
You’re not alone; it’s an epidemic, and at a time when we’ve never been so technologically connected, many are overwhelmingly disconnected from meaningful relationships. It’s a public health crisis because we aren’t meant to operate in isolation. We need others to grow and learn. We are relational beings and need people to give us relational feedback. My job is to help illuminate your strengths and to help you see your blocks to connection. I am both a tender and direct therapist, and I understand that behaviors, maladaptive or not, are an attempt to put you in some harmony. Still, the result is usually feelings of shame and self-devaluation. My role is to become your cheerleader and to help you see where you may be stumbling into blocks.
