I am a woman, a multitasking mom, a lover of laughter, an aspiring travel enthusiast, and a down-to-earth human. I am also a therapist.
I began my career as a social worker in my early twenties. After four kids and a pile of PB&Js, I went back to school and earned a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. After a few more PB&Js (and A LOT of Coke Zero), I completed my PhD in Counseling Education and Supervision. The focus of my dissertation was counselor competency when working with caregivers of autistic individuals.
I believe that people are pretty amazing. An individual’s ability to enact change and redirect their lives is humbling and inspiring to be a part of – I have the best seat in the house! I support my clients through several therapeutic modalities that tailor my approach to fit their needs. I am Masters-level trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy. In addition, I am IFS-trained through the IFS Institute. Lastly, I am certified as a Grief Educator by David Kessler.
One other important fact: I hail from a neurodivergent household. I understand the ins and outs of what this means because I have lived it – and will continue to live it – for the rest of my life. It is awesome and also awesomely hard.
When I am not in the office, I am spending time with my family. We are a goofy group and we like to remind each other of that. 😉
