High satisfaction rate with clients

Nice to meet you

As an eclectic therapist, I am skilled at meeting the client where they are currently, drawing from all clinical modalities that may be appropriate and helpful to the client. I am warm, directive, engaging, and psychodynamic in orientation and style. I believe in the power of empathy and understanding to foster growth and healing. Finding a balance between self-care and life's demands is where I thrive, making it my "sweet spot" for vibrant living. Guiding others in this journey is not just my profession — it's my passion.

Interests

I'm passionate about life balance and self-care, which includes maintaining a community of other like-minded individuals and tending to the mind-body connection for optimum wellbeing. If not in the office, you'll find me outdoors enjoying the deep connection of nature and sunshine, something that often involves travel and adventure and spending time with my husband and grown children.
