Bio

Thank you for embarking on this journey towards healing. I know it took a lot of courage to just take this step of looking for a therapist so I am grateful that you are here. I have witnessed healing in my experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families in helping to navigate life's challenges and difficulties. I love this work and I welcome and am inclusive to all races, beliefs, socioeconomic statuses, disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ members.

Humor and compassion are my lifelines in the treatment process. My approach to treatment utilizes a client centered approach in tailoring treatment interventions derived from a variety of modalities to aid in the healing process. My goal is to help you live the life you want to live and I often turn to treatment interventions that center around value-based actions.

In my free time, I enjoy running, practicing yoga, being adventurous, and anything that has to do with the outdoors.
