Welcome.

Your Life—Your Journey
Your life’s journey is more than just a straight and simple path.  It sometimes comes with bumps in the road, perhaps when you least expect it.


Yet, like all of us, you want to live each day to its fullest as you navigate uncertain ground and learn to step in a new direction.  Taking that step may require a fresh perspective—one from a skilled listener who can help you to be your best self.


Perhaps you are faced with depression, anxiety, or an eating disorder—personal challenges, among others, that are hard to solve on your own.

Taking that brave step towards change, with a skilled professional as your guide, eases your journey. As a licensed psychologist with more than 20 years of experience in the field, I can help you solve problems in your life and handle your difficult personal issues. We can take the journey together!
