I am a compassionate listener and have experience working with couples and individuals. I have experience working with infidelity, blended families, individuals with ADHD and grief from brain injury/trauma and stroke diagnosis.

People who interact with me say that I am calm and peaceful person to be around. I genuinely care and work hard to provide a safe space for those who are suffering and struggling. I honor and deeply respect anyone who has the courage to pursue therapy and encourage everyone to find a therapist who feels like a good fit.

I am a trauma informed and trained and have extensive experience working with complex trauma. For couples work I use the Gottman Method, psychobiological approach to couples therapy and emotion focused therapy. For individuals I use cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotion focused therapy, gestalt, sand tray and experiential therapy.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and paddle boarding with my friends.
