I believe in empowering clients to make the changes they would like to see in their lives. I utilize a direct, yet compassionate, approach. I am committed to helping my clients reach their fullest potential in all areas of their lives. I have experience in working with clients who want to better their physical health and mental health. I have assisted clients with navigating life changes such as marriage/divorce, terminal illness, parental role changes, and caregiver stress. I have extensive experience in helping couples/family members strengthen their relationships by teaching interpersonal relationship skills, and healthy boundaries.

I became a mental health professional because human behavior interests me and I enjoy helping people make positive changes.

I enjoy outdoor activities with my family members, friends, and my dog. I exercise daily and prefer to walk, run, and hike outdoors.

Physical activity is my number one habit for my mental health, but I also enjoy watching the sunset at the beach after a particularly stressful work day.

The Bible because I have a strong faith. How not to die because it has a wealth of information about overall health and well-being.

Hospice. I currently work as an LCSW for a non-profit hospice and I see firsthand the difference hospice makes in the lives of our patients and their family members.

Watching a sunset at the beach or taking a long walk in the woods.

We have one small rescue dog.
