Great to meet you!

Welcome! Taking the step of finding the right clinician for you is an important part of your therapy experience so let me share a bit of my experience to assist you in deciding if I may be the right person for you. My undergraduate work focused on psychology and sociology. I worked as a victim advocate in the fields of sexual assault and domestic violence prior to entering graduate level work in marriage and family therapy. My goal is create a safe and welcoming space to heal and move forward.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My primary areas of education and experience are grief & bereavement and eating disorders. I enjoy working with adolescents, teens, young adults, and individuals who are experiencing life transitions, working through stress and/or hurdles that life has brought, and those who are interested in navigating anxiety, depression, or other barriers to living the life they desire.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect a warm, non-judgmental and welcoming environment that is safe for all.
