I decided to become a therapist because I believe in the power of people to find their own way when given the tools, resources and opportunities to do so. I also became a therapist because I believe in the power of the creative arts as an outlet for self expression, a means of self soothing, a way to channel and transform difficult experiences into something personally meaningful.

I work best with clients who are able to commit to a regular frequency of sessions, weekly to biweekly.

I am excited to work with clients who are open to introspective work and committed to building positive coping skills to manage depression, anxiety, trauma, and life stressors.

That progress requires efforts and change outside of the therapy room.

Art, music, and nature.

Clients can expect in a first session with me that I am interested in getting to know them and to help them feel comfortable in talking about their reasons for seeking therapy. Clients can expect that I'll be interested in who they are, and will ask them questions about their history, their presenting issues/concerns and their desired treatment goals.

In a first session with a client I want to establish a comfortable space for client to feel free to discuss their presenting concerns. I will take a thorough history, identify presenting issues/concerns, and the client's desired goals of therapy.

Clients should know that I am available both by telehealth and in person.

On my time off I love to hang out with my husband, my friends and 3 beautiful cats. I like art, listening to music, being outside, walking, kayaking and playing guitar. I absolutely love the ocean.
