I am a therapist with over 10 years of experience using clinical skills. I use a Solution-Focused, insight-oriented perspective, balanced with empathy. I specialize in helping people understand why they do what they do, and how emotional and behavioral patterns may impact them and their relationships. We all need a safe and supportive environment to explore life’s challenges and change those thinking patterns. There is tremendous value in talking through problems and identifying feelings with a mental health professional with the experience, training, and expertise to understand what you are going through. Working as a team, we can evaluate options, discover solutions, and improve your confidence. By infusing compassion, intuition, and encouragement into the therapy process, I can help guide you in gaining the freedom from your worries that you may be seeking.

I became a mental health professional in the hope to give back and be a part of the solution in helping people process the specific challenges they are facing in life.

My interests are volunteering, traveling, cooking, reading, and hiking.

I am a big advocate of mindfulness meditation. I practice mindfulness which helps support my mental and emotional well-being.

I have read Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom several times because it addresses the process of grieving. I find this book deeply insightful on the process of life and deeply helpful for patients who are suffering from the loss of a loved one.

My favorite organization is the Wounded Warrior Program. As a Navy Veteran, I am a huge advocate of helping our wounded military veterans and their families receive the care they need.

I recharge by hiking, eating right, and enjoy gardening.

I have a beagle named Bruno. Since beagles are hunting dogs by nature, I let him dig a giant crater in my backyard in his search for a groundhog. He eventually dug deep enough to find the tunnels the groundhogs dug.
