I believe in holding a safe, compassionate space for the exploration of thoughts, emotions, and experiences where we work together to support your growth. I am committed to providing empathetic support and guidance as you navigate life! My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing from a variety of modalities and techniques and your direct feedback. No two paths are alike — our time together will be uniquely tailored to your needs. We will work together to identify your goals, develop strategies and coping skills, and strengthen your sense of resilience.

I enjoy cooking/baking, reading (mostly fiction, but also the occasional celebrity memoir), and recently took up crocheting as a hobby.
I stretch first thing in the morning when I get up. I am not a morning person, so this simple act of physical mindfulness helps me gently wake up in a way that is both grounding and invigorating. It helps get my circulation flowing, allows me a quiet space of reflective exploration, and sets the tone for how I approach my day.
Time with family and friends, rewatching a favorite show (Friends and The Big Bang Theory are my top two!), yoga, and if weather permits… floating in the pool!
I have three dogs: Phoebe, Shadow, and Maverick. My favorite breed is rescued — all three (as well as two others who have crossed the rainbow bridge) have been rescued, and have been the best additions to our family. They all have fun, unique personalities, and different needs, and help me practice love, compassion, and patience daily. They've also taught me that a little cheese never hurts.
