Great to meet you!

I would clients to know that I strive to provide education, support and cheer leading for my clients, and that I deliver therapy to each person with gratitude and respect. I have a Master of Arts degree in Rehabilitation Counseling, which helped me to develop an approach by identifying strengths and resources, helping to create realistic goals and making necessary changes. I have been practicing for 31 years and I know that I will never know everything.

I have a heart for maternal mental health and reproductive mental health. This can include Infertility, pregnancy and post partum mood disorders, perinatal hospice, surrogacy screenings, pregnancy and infant loss, teen pregnancy, crisis pregnancy, abortion, menopause. We have a maternal mental health crisis in our country and I hope to help alleviate that.

I am also passionate about supporting bariatric patients in their weight loss journey. I am the proud owner of a gastric sleeve. I lost 150 pounds ten years ago and am keeping it off.

My approach to therapy

I appreciate a person's story--I want to know what makes them tick. I help them celebrate their strengths and victories and assist them to go from point A to point B to make their lives better and meaningful. I value psychoeducation in order to provide clarity and inform.

What you can expect from me

Client can expect my dedication, compassion and advocacy. I respect my clients and am honored that they allow me into their hearts and lives. I like to bring humor, warmth, compassion and appreciation to our sessions.
