Get to Know Me

I have always been a curious person. Growing up, "I have a question", was my most frequently used phrase at school. Over time, I found I was most curious about how people function.

​

I have a background of going through significant loss, as well as having personal relationships with people who have difficulty managing their mental health. My lived experience, along with processing in my personal therapy, further inspired my curiosity and career trajectory. This self-work, my professional experiences working with children, teens, families, and adults in social work, mental health, and school settings, and my academic training, have shaped my practice into what it is today. ​

​

My therapeutic style is open, inquisitive, direct, and educational. I believe we all have common threads which weave through our lives and impact how we function, some of which are our own and some are gifted to us. Part of my job is to point out those threads and help clients asses if they benefit from the form they currently take, or if they would benefit from adjusting threads to better fit the tapestry of their lives in present day.

In my downtime, you can find me enjoying a low-impact hike or exercise class, reading with a glass of iced tea, trying new snacks, or spending time with friends and family.
