In her own words:

My practice philosophy can be summed up as helping my clients become comfortable with being uncomfortable. To that end, I practice from both a mindfulness and a behavioral perspective. My goal is to help people move toward a rich life that is in alignment with their stated values.

My focus has been mainly on individual and group therapy work since I began as a substance abuse counselor in 2010. Since then, I've worked with probation departments, incarcerated populations, and specialty courts. My areas of interest include the intersectionality of Mental Health, Substance Use Disorders, Trauma, Criminal Justice Involvement, and Veterans Issues (because having a niche is overrated!). As if that wasn't enough, I'm also a Registered Yoga Teacher and a trained iRest Meditation Teacher.

Prior to becoming a counselor, I spent 6 years in the United States Navy. I served as a nuclear-qualified Machinist Mate onboard The U.S.S Theodore Roosevelt. I'm known for my relaxed style and my ability to help people find the words to communicate their experiences. I'm a firm believer that there is an immeasurable utility in the correct dose of sarcasm and irreverence.
