Hello and welcome! I have been providing therapy to individuals, couples, and families since 2007. I have worked with all ages in various settings. My specialties include women's issues (PMDD/PMD, post-partum, infertility), anxiety/panic attacks, depression, grief, couples, and trauma. My approach is Solution-focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a client-centered approach considering cultural, social, and psychosocial influences. I believe you are the expert in your life and together we can work to improve your functioning using your strengths. I look forward to working with you!

It was a calling that found me.
Traveling, gardening, animals, cooking, reading, and being with family.
I take breaks throughout the day. I also take time to decompress at the end of the day by reading or listening to an audiobook.
Think Like a Monk by Jay Shetty. I have an abundance of wisdom and each time I read it the information spoke to me in a different way depending on where I was in that season of life.
IAPMD because they are actively working to educate and raise awareness about premenstrual dysphoric disorder within the mental health, medical, and mainstream communities.
By taking "mommy days" where I get to go to dinner and a movie with myself.
I have two cats currently, but was raised with horses, dogs, cats, and, at one time, a rat. My favorite pet story is having one of my cats from childhood come home after being missing for almost two weeks. She was missing a few teeth and looked like she fought off a coyote, but she made it!
