I've been a therapist for more than 20 years, and I still believe what I did on day one: people can change, and they deserve real tools to do it.

Why I do this work

At the heart of it, I love people. I want every person who meets me, or logs on from their kitchen table, to know they matter, they're valued, and they are not alone in this world. Feeling truly supported and cared for changes things.

What I love most is watching people grow: the excitement when something clicks, the confidence that builds week by week, and the strength that comes from finally understanding who you are, what makes you tick, and how to live your best life.

I founded Tapestry of Wellness in 2006. The name says what I see in every client. A life is woven from many threads, some strong and some frayed. Our work is not to throw anything away. It's to weave it into something that holds.

What sessions with me are like

I'm warm, but I won't just nod along. DBT is built on two ideas held together: accepting yourself exactly as you are, and working hard to change. You'll get both from me. Expect a clear plan, practical skills and honest feedback, delivered with respect.
