Meet the Psychotherapist

I think it is only fair that I share a little about myself as you consider trusting me as your compassionate listener, therapist and coach. I have 21 years of experience helping folks gain an understanding of their life experiences and guiding them to a more peaceful life trajectory. 

I have an eclectic approach to treating social, emotional and behavioral concerns. In a culture focused on image and persona, people hurt in private. Would you like to sit down and have an authentic conversation with me? I validate life experiences to reduce shame and guilt. I have a lens to explore the impact of trauma and grief while allowing folks a safe space to mourn loss.

My goal is to help folks increase tolerance for peace and calm.  I encourage folks to explore their fears, worries, judgements and concerns about themselves, others, and environmental and societal expectations.  Let's connect to discuss solutions.

My skills have also positioned me to supervise non-licensed mental health clinicians as they develop greater clinical skills. 

In the year of 2006, I obtained my B.S. in Family Relationships/Human Development. Later on in 2017, I obtained a Master's Degree in Social Work. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughters outdoors in nature!
