I believe that emotional struggle is a natural part of the human experience and that everyone goes through periods of life that are difficult. I have many years of therapeutic experience in helping clients set and attain their own goals to successfully navigate periods of struggle with resilience. My style is warm and empathetic and I value meaningful connection with clients.

I love people and helping them to navigate periods of struggle, which are common to us all.

I enjoy hiking and being outside as much as possible. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and love cooking for them. I love to read, just about anything, play the piano, and listen to music.

I try to spend time outside each day moving my body and also doing some simple breathing exercises.

Man’s Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl is one of my favorite books because it illustrates that meaning can be found, or created, out of the most difficult of circumstances. I find it inspirational and helpful during periods of struggle.

The International Justice Mission helps millions around the world escape slavery and trafficking. This has been a favorite non-profit for a long time because its mission is essential.

Breathing exercises, spending time outside, and doing something creative help me to move into a calmer space

I have a Cairn terrier named Pip who seems to think he’s a cat. He loves to relax by cuddling up right on top of me!
