Welcome! This is the start of your journey to taking care of yourself. I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist. I enjoy working with those going through some sort of life transition; daily life-stressor; anxiety/depression and have experience working with wives of police officers/ military. I also enjoy working with couples and adolescence. I love working with clients who are looking for ways to work on their own voice and putting change into action! I'm here to help guide; listen and create a safe space for you. In addition to being a therapist I am married; a mother; and love to go for long runs!
