With more than 30 years of experience as a therapist and educational leader, I provide supportive, solution-focused therapy to help individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges. My career has spanned private practice and leadership roles in special services, giving me a deep understanding of both personal struggles and systemic stressors that impact well-being.
I specialize in working with:
Adolescents and young adults managing stress, anxiety, or life transitions
Adults facing relationship challenges, work stress, or major life changes
Couples seeking healthier communication and deeper connection
Families navigating conflict, parenting concerns, or special needs support
My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I believe therapy should be a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to make positive changes. Drawing from decades of direct counseling and leadership in school systems, I bring both compassion and clarity to help clients gain insight, build resilience, and move toward their goals.
Credentials:

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that fits their needs and schedule – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to maintain continuity of care.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists at any time if they need a different fit. This accessibility and adaptability make online therapy a practical choice for many seeking support.
