I have been a licensed therapist for over 15 years and I have a warm and welcoming approach to therapy. I believe that the therapeutic relationship provides the opportunity to develop insight and coping strategies to improve life circumstances, while receiving the emotional support and objective guidance to thrive. I have a masters degree from Johns Hopkins University and a doctorate from Argosy University, both in counseling psychology. In my free time, I love spending time with my two children, spending time outdoors, reading, and biking.

I am honored to know every individual I have met in the 22 years I have been practicing. Joining my clients while they process their experiences has taught me to listen deeply and with compassion. My skills are only part of the journey. Helping clients find their own healing is more fulfilling than simply providing instruction or answers.

I approach counseling with the fundamental belief that we are all whole individuals - each of us unique; equally deserving of love, understanding, and compassion; and capable of making positive changes to achieve wellness. My goal is to help you identify, understand, and resolve your own unique life stressors.
