Three words that describe my style are:

Warm, Encouraging, Problem-Solving

Something unique about my approach is:

I teach self-regulation, which helps you manage your body's automatic response to stress. Once your body can relax, you can develop healthier patterns of thought and behavior.

Together we will explore:

Your body's response to stress; unhelpful patterns in relationships, thoughts, and behavior; how to find meaning and purpose amidst hardship; how to develop lasting change; how to communicate your needs and desires

I specialize in working with people who:

desire positive change in their lives, feel stuck by past hurts or failures, feel overwhelmed by life's demands, struggle to make connections with others; are in adolescence and adult phases of life

I became a therapist because:

I enjoy integrating the arts with science to help people experience healing and personal and relational growth.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

LifeSpring Behavioral Health is a Christian-based group that offers counseling as well as medication management by an on-site psychiatrist.

When I’m not at work, I like to:

run outdoors, lead group exercise classes, garden, and write.
