My style is more goal-oriented and structured. One of my main goals is to help my clients improve their quality of life in ways that are meaningful for them. I utilize tools from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. These therapies have been extensively studied to show their effectiveness in improving quality of life. I am also well-versed in Attachment Theory, Love Languages, and the Enneagram.

I enjoy spending time with family, friends, and my dogs. I love all kinds of food and am constantly seeking new places to try.
Sitting in silence, away from technology and noise and engaging in intentional, meaningful introspection.
Travel and relaxing activities. I make sure to carve out time in the year for day trips, domestic, and international travel, which help me to recharge. Relaxing activities such as massages and biking are great tools for recharging as well.
I have 3 dogs. My oldest dog was not doing well a few years ago, but we got a puppy and it seemed to have given him new life. He is about 19 years old now and he still has a lot of energy!
