I love learning and exploring the interconnectivity of our mind-body-spirit. Specifically, how the connection of the body-mind operates and communicates to one another, and how our relationship with our Spirit/Self/Soul affects how we integrate our mind-body knowledge. I started my career in the mental health field as a volunteer in a homeless and transitional housing shelter for women and kids. Then, I worked at a community mental health agency, Sound Health, where I supported individuals with co-occurring intellectual disability and mental health concerns. I quickly learned the value of working with community such as the client's support staff, family members, and other practitioners. In my private practice I work with people who want to improve their relationship with their self and within their communities. I use tools and methods to aid integration of the parts of Client's that may have been lost or cast aside on their life's journey.

I offer both telehealth and in office sessions. In office sessions are accompanied by my gentle dog, Stella, as she offers connection and presence in the therapeutic process.
