Therapy style
My professional identities have ranged from therapist to advocate for victims of crime to corporate finance professional. I have firsthand experience as a first-generation college graduate as well as a former manager of a team of 26 individual contributors. I have been partnering with clients to achieve their goals as a therapist since 2012. In addition to drawing from my own experiences, I see counseling theory and techniques as tools that can be accessed depending on the needs of my client, with advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and relational theories.

Interests
I play the piano, hang out with my pets (a dog named Addie and a kitten named Khaos), and spend quality time with friends and family as often as I can. I love to get outdoors and spend time near water or in the mountains whenever possible.
