Welcome! First time seeking treatment? Then you have made an important step in finding help and connecting with a provider that's right for you. Returning to treatment? Then take pride in knowing your needs and when to reach out for support. I believe we have so many of the answers we seek and necessary skills within us already. I look forward to helping you in your journey to meet your own treatment goals through specifically chosen interventions and skills and I invite regular feedback and encourage discussion on effectiveness for you as the client. Let's get working towards the life and well-being you envision for yourself!

I became a therapist simply to be able to help people as we all need help and support at various points in life. I have been able to connect with people from a young age and started as a peer counselor in middle school. From this experience, I knew this was what I wanted to do for a career. The process of helping someone through a difficult time, supporting them, and being present with someone is incredibly rewarding and I'm excited to be able to reach even more people through the virtual platform and make mental health even more accessible.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my kids, family, and friends. I love music, attending concerts, reading, sports, sporting events, traveling, outdoor activities, and fitness including group workouts and runs!

I like to implement body awareness, self-check-ins, and breathing exercises. I try to pay attention to areas of tension in my physical self and how this connects to my own thoughts and feelings that I may have not been aware of. Breathing is great for everything from mindfulness/centering to relaxation, it's helpful at any point in the day.

I have read a few Dan Brown books more than once. Angels and Demons and Davinci Code have great references to history and real places as well as a unique storyline that keeps you interested!

I don't know that I have one favorite non-profit. I support various non-profits that give back to the community, especially those that connect to our youth such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, and provide opportunities to kids that may not have otherwise had those experiences.

Family, Fitness, and Organizing! My interests are also what helps me feel recharged. Connecting with loved ones, exercising, and connecting with nature and organizing helps me find balance and I very much feel recharged when I am able to organize my space, look around, and feel at peace.

I have a 12-year-old Pit bull named Dahlia. She has so much personality and love. Her favorite thing right now is having me tuck her into bed. Yes, she loves to sleep with a blanket on top of her and will follow me around at bedtime until I tuck her in. And in the middle of the night she will come to my side of the bed to wake me up and tuck her back in under her blanket if it comes off. Lucky me! She really is my fur baby.
