Who I am as a Therapist
I strive to be a therapist who offers a safe and non-judgmental space to heal. You are the one that knows you best and I’m here to listen and offer you tips and tricks along the way to help you reach your goals. I believe that for therapy to be successful, it cannot be coercive and I work hard to build rapport and trust with you so that you can feel safe enough to tell me anything and know that I will still be there supporting you.

Who I am when I’m not a Therapist
I am a crazy cat lady to 3 amazing cats and I wholeheartedly embrace that identity. I am also an auntie to 6 boys who I love with everything in me. In my spare time I like to bake and love watching various documentaries to learn as much as possible about many different things.
