I have worked in a variety of clinical settings including outpatient, inpatient, and within the school system. I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse population of clients of all ages. My early clinical experience was devoted to working with children, adolescents and young adults in an outpatient setting.  My focus and intentions were to help them navigate through challenges that are presented during this developmental time period, and work towards individual growth and self-discovery.  I began to expand my practice after a few years to work with individuals across the lifespan and I thoroughly enjoyed the variety of experiences and wisdom that I have encountered through this process.

I am passionate in my work of providing each individual a unique and personalized therapeutic experience that fits his or her specific needs. I strive to provide a warm, relaxed, and non-judgmental environment in order to develop a strong working relationship and trust that is essential in having a positive and fruitful experience. I provide genuine compassion, support and encouragement to enable each individual to identify his or her own personal goals and direction for their unique path in life.  My goal is to empower my clients through self-discovery utilizing compassion, curiosity, and an increase in self-awareness.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring the outdoors, reading, knitting, practicing yoga, and attempting to develop my green thumb.
