ABOUT ME
If you’re tired of the story you’re telling yourself, let’s find another one together. I love to help redefine old narratives that may have been holding you back, and I am grateful to help write a brand new story of you. Sometimes, we can tell ourselves scary stories about the future and replay the painful traumas of our past. Together, we can look at your stories and see their strengths and their challenges and how you can build a new narrative for your life. I like to help clients find their true North Star to guide them to a new meaning and purpose.
I am a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and focus on working with relationship issues, anxiety, depression and suicide ideation, addiction, life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, LGBTQ issues, and PTSD.
​
I am a former touring/recording musician and reformed music company executive who wanted something different in life, so I became a therapist. I love to play guitar and piano to an audience of my dog. I am a passionate fan of music and the arts and encourage creativity as a major source of mental health. I believe in the power of creativity as a lightning rod for inspiration and how tapping into our artistic selves can open a new wide vista for expression and serenity. I always stress the importance of connection in this increasingly disconnected world, and together we’ll find methods that will increase your connections and strengthen
the ones you have.
I am here to walk beside my clients and help them understand their massive potential. Nothing is too broken that it can’t be put back together. Nothing. Let’s figure it out.

Are you and your partner caught in a loop of fighting? Do you not feel trusted or respected in the relationship? Has the flame gone out from when you first met?
