More than any other factor, it is the relationship between client and therapist that has been found to profoundly impact personal change. We are hurt, and healed within relationships. With this in mind, I take a relational approach to all my therapeutic work. I believe in honoring the individual needs of each client, ensuring they are known, seen, and heard. While also gently offering alternative to one’s longstanding views of self, others, and the world. I take a special interest in expanding the social and wellness supports of individuals outside the therapy room.

While I work with all ages, I specialize in working with parents and youth. This ranges from parent coaching, to trauma processing with children and adolescents, to intensive family therapy. As every individual is different, the specific approaches I utilize vary. These include approaches such as play therapy, narrative approaches, CBT, DBT, EMDR, and sensorimotor therapies.

My background includes working as a 
therapist at a local adolescent crisis recovery center and as hospital social worker in the NICU, Mother Baby Unit, and pediatrics. Prior to social work and therapy, I worked in healthcare compliance and workforce education.

In my personal time I love being creative, making things with my hands, spending time with family and managing rental properties.
