I decided to become a counselor because I know from personal experience the difference that a good counselor can make in an individual's life.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages but think I work best with adults.

I am most excited to work with clients who are dedicated to the pursuit of greater self understanding through self exploration.

I wish all clients knew that therapy is hard work but that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy the process.

I chose to practice at Thriveworks because I work best with clients are who motivated for change.

I am a lover of nature and the great outdoors and am inspired by the natural world that surrounds us.

Clients can expect our first session to be a chance to get to know one another - I want to hear from clients about their current and past experiences as well as their preferences when it comes to working together.

In a first session, I want to accomplish having a "snapshot" of what brings the client to therapy and what they would like to accomplish in our work together.

Clients should know that I truly love my job and feel it is an honor and privilege to help people do the oh so important work of becoming the best possible version of themselves.

For fun, I love spending time watching my two teenaged sons on the soccer field, working in my garden, or just hanging out with my cat or with a good book on the beach.

I don't think I'm defined by just one thing but feel as though I am the culmination of all my life experiences - relocating to the east coast after growing up in a small, rural town in California, being a daughter, being a sister, being a mother, being a wife, being a therapist.
