Get To Know Me
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
Choosing the right therapist is a deeply personal decision, and I want my clients to feel confident that they’re in a supportive and understanding space. My approach is grounded in warmth, collaboration, and a deep commitment to helping clients grow and heal. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as couples who feel disconnected or stuck in negative relationship patterns. My goal is to help clients break free from what’s holding them back and build stronger, healthier connections with themselves and others.
In therapy, I take a balanced, down-to-earth approach that blends emotional support with practical tools. Clients often describe our work together as compassionate, engaging, and growth-oriented. I strive to create a space where people feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

Work HistoryMy path to becoming a therapist began in an unexpected place—working as a marine mammal trainer, where I developed an appreciation for behavioral science. I then transitioned to dog training, where I deepened my understanding of the power of positive reinforcement in shaping behavior and strengthening relationships. After taking time off to stay home with my children during their early years, I felt a strong pull toward my true passion—helping people. This led me back to school to pursue a career in psychotherapy, where I now apply my experience in behavior, communication, and connection to support individuals and couples in their healing journey.
