Welcome! I congratulate you on taking this step of seeking therapy and I look forward to learning about you and your unique life experiences. As Bessel van der Kolk once said, “Therapy is a way to connect with your inner wisdom and to find your own path to healing.” I believe each client holds the key to their own healing process and I am here to hold the space and provide support. My goal in therapy is to create a safe space for my clients to feel empowered to process life’s challenges and develop effective skills to tackle those challenges. My therapeutic approach is client-centered, supportive, collaborative, and empathetic.

I did not always know I wanted to be a psychotherapist; however, I was always empathetic to others’ struggles and was compassionate about wanting to listen and help. Once I became aware of my own strengths, I was able to pursue my passion for wanting to support and foster positive change in people's lives.

I enjoy going for long walks while I listen to classical music. I also believe laughter is a powerful medicine so I try my best to attend comedy shows as often as I can.

I get up early in the morning and drink my coffee before the rest of my family is up.

Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby van Pelt. I do not want to spoil the book but it is one of those that one does not want to put down.

Million Little is a nonprofit organization that utilizes art and creativity to support children and families in processing and healing from traumatic experiences.

I recharge by turning on music and unwinding. Movement also helps me recharge, especially after sitting at my desk for long hours, so I tend to either go out for a walk or take a Pilates class.
