I knew when I was 12 years old that I wanted to be a counselor, I remember telling people that is what I would do when I grew up. Interestingly, I have never wavered from that decision.

Working with individuals/couples who are facing life changes whether it be, young adults transitioning to college or leaving home, to older adults entering retirement, and to all those in the middle. As we know change is our constant, though it often the culprit for anxiety and stress. I enjoy the challenge as a therapist and a fellow human being to help people navigate through the windy paths.

I enjoy working with all clients. I believe that each individual/couple brings freshness and hope to the table. By taking the first step to set up an appointment for counseling requires courage and exposure to vulnerability.

That there is no right or wrong approach to living, we are all doing the best we can with what we have. I have a few sayings - Life is for Living - Create memories - Keep your eye on the prize. These mantras bring home the preciousness of life.

I have so many reasons why I chose to work for Thriveworks - one of biggest reasons is that you are getting some of the best clinicians that want the best for you. The standards are high on all levels: confidentially, ethics, and flexibility.

I get inspired when a client and/or couple has an ah-ha moment and the puzzle pieces begin to fit together in their lives.

Acceptance, non-judgement, and a safe place to share.

The first session is for gathering basic information on what brought you to the session and an opportunity to get to know each other.

Cycle, yoga, read, watch comedies, dance when I get a chance, and travel

Being curious and looking for answers to difficult questions.
