I have been providing mental health services for about 10 years. My goal for providing services is to create a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental atmosphere for clients to share what troubles them most. My approach to therapy is to create an environment that feels safe and empathetic for the client to have the space and support needed to explore deep-rooted issues. While working with clients, I guide them to be centered in the middle path while working to adopt a perspective that reduces suffering. I believe the client is the expert in their life and I am present to aid them in achieving their goals along with a more fulfilling life. I have experience working with adults and adolescents who struggle with depression, anxiety, life transitions, substance use, trauma, self-harm, interpersonal relationships, and difficulty coping.

I was drawn to this profession because of my love for helping people. I enjoy being able to give clients and staff empathy and compassion as they move through their journey.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, friends, and pets. I also love to read, do jigsaw puzzles, listen to music, and dance.

I recharge by reading, working on jigsaw puzzles, playing with my dogs, or going for walks.

I have two dogs, Trixie and Clark!
