About Me

I am a mother to three amazing humans. I am also a wife, a sister, an aunt and a teacher in addition to being a social worker. I enjoy art, music, traveling and trying new foods. I also love learning and believe it is a life long process.

I have worked in multiple settings including acute care, hospitals, schools and now private practice. I have born witness to the narrowed scope of the medical model that neglects the complexity of the whole person and have adopted a holistic approach to wellness and therapy.

Adolescents are my biggest specialty, though I also have experience working with adults and other populations. I take a strength based approach to therapy combined with my training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Emotional Freedom Technique and more.

I understand that this is a vulnerable process. I'd be honored to help teach and guide you on your unique wellness journey. Call and schedule your free consultation today!
