Great to meet you!

Thank you for coming to my page! First and foremost I am a Mother which is my greatest joy, but let's be honest, also the most challenging role! I knew my passion for therapy and wanting to help others came at a young age (yes I was the middle child)! I pursued other passions and lived life and then came back to my dream of going to graduate school shortly after having my daughter. Besides being a Mama, I love boating. Being on water is my therapy! Looking forward to getting to know you better!

My approach to therapy

I have a passion for empowering individuals, couples and families who are looking for some tools to help reach your goal! I am a therapist who has lived experience with many of the turmoils life throws our way. I believe that to be understood takes empathy. I specialize in marriage/couples therapy, family therapy, trauma work, EMDR, cancer, migraines, divorce, loving someone with a substance use disorder, co-parenting, parenting, depression, anxiety, birth trauma, attachment styles etc!

What you can expect from me

I pride myself in being able to be open-minded, present, fun, yet direct. I believe everyone has the tools embedded in them to reach their goals. We all have life experiences that have somewhat dulled our ability to tap into our full potential, but together, we can tap into what is missing and fill in those potholes so you can live your best life!
