Therapy Style
My style of therapy is warm, authentic, direct, and down-to-earth. My approach in sessions is to assist clients to connect with the strengths and resilience they may or may not be aware they have and support them to utilize those to make changes in their lives that are consistent with their goals in therapy. I work collaboratively with clients to be sure that therapy feels meaningful and beneficial. I believe strongly that each human has the capacity to heal, no matter how large or small their challenge appears.

What are your interests outside of work?
I love taking walks with my pandemic puppy Georgia, laughing with my family, seeing live music, and eating good food!
What book have you read more than once?
A Little Life. It is truly a book about resilience and connection, two of the most powerful tools we have in life. I am in awe of the characters in this book and their ability to love, live and heal.
