My Focus Areas
My Therapy Style
I use a holistic and client-centered approach and believe the therapeutic relationship is key to making progress. It's this fit between client and therapist that allows you to 'tell it like it is' and for me to provide the space for you to be real. Most importantly, I believe the therapeutic relationship is key to making progress and building resilience in therapy. I also specialize in utilizing Mindfulness and other modalities. I am committed to meeting you where you are on your journey. Together, we can explore at your pace and work towards creating positive change in your life.

Get to Know Me
Why did you become a mental health professional?
Like many mental health professionals, I had experiences when I was younger that led me to seek out help and more education about myself, my relationships, and the world around me. I ultimately decided my goal in life was to help others along their journey as well.
What are your interests outside of work?
I have two small children who keep me very busy, but I also love running, theme parks, and 3D printing!
What is one thing you do daily that supports your well-being?
I move my body in some way every day!
How do you recharge?
I recharge with some alone time enjoying coffee, a walk, or a podcast.
