With decades of experience as a licensed therapist in private practice, I specialize in guiding adults through life’s most challenging transitions. My expertise centers on helping clients navigate loss, grief, divorce, anxiety, and depression with compassion and practical solutions.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive Therapy while incorporating various evidence-based techniques tailored to each client’s unique needs. I believe in the power of short-term, solution-focused therapy that addresses the here and now. My style is interactive and direct, working collaboratively with clients to achieve their goals of emotional well-being as efficiently as possible.

Having grown up in Northern California, I developed a deep appreciation for nature’s healing power. This connection to the natural world influences my therapeutic perspective, offering clients insights into finding peace and renewal in their own lives. My love for the mountains and outdoor experiences has taught me valuable lessons about resilience and adaptation – principles I bring into my counseling practice.

As someone who has dedicated her life to helping others find their path to healing, I understand the importance of compassion and practical support during difficult times. My commitment to nurturing growth and renewal extends beyond my professional practice – I’m an advocate for animal welfare and have extensive experience in animal rescue, which has deepened my understanding of the healing power of companionship and unconditional support.

At ReLeaf Counseling Services, you’ll find a welcoming, professional environment where your challenges are met with understanding, expertise, and actionable solutions. Together, we’ll work to navigate your journey toward emotional well-being and renewed purpose.
