Bio

As a therapist, I am deeply grateful for the opportunity I have to help individuals navigate change, overcome challenges, and rediscover their inherent worth. I strive to create an environment of growth, safety, compassion, and acceptance.

My experience includes working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families in both outpatient and residential treatment settings. I believe therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative process considerate of the unique needs, circumstances, cultural backgrounds, and strengths each client brings.

In my personal time I love mountain biking, skiing, laughing at memes, reading Stephen King novels, tending to my plants, and creating art. My most cherished time is spent simply having fun with my sweet husband and cats!
