Therapy is the Art of Finding Treasure in People

I really enjoy being a therapist. Early in my career life I felt called to help others find healing and growth in their lives. Having the opportunity to see people experience positive life transformation is truly fulfilling. I welcome the opportunity to work with you.

Aside from being a therapist, I love to foster creativity through art and writing. You can often find me enjoying a nature hike, sea glass hunting, learning something new, and drinking tea in cafes. I also enjoy being with my husband, seeing family, and have a red poodle named Jasper who entertains us on an on-going basis.
