I am passionate about my work and value the opportunity to support clients in their journeys. She prioritizes cultivating strong therapeutic relationships with care, respect, and collaboration. Below you can find more information about my education, licenses, certificates and training, but first I want to tell you more about me.

I had the opportunity to live abroad in various countries, which has informed my clinical practice immensely. I am intentional about being culturally sensitive, aware, and humble. I take the position of being curious and open to learning about my clients’ cultures, traditions, beliefs, and values.

I am a wife, a mother of two kiddos (8 and 5 years old), and currently live in northern Virginia (though I am a proud Midwesterner and native Michigander!). I love being outdoors hiking, running, and biking. I enjoy traveling and seeing live music. I’m always up for a new adventure!

If you would like to learn more or see if I will be a good fit for you, a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation is offered for all prospective clients. Please click the Get Started Today link below to fill out a quick contact form so we can schedule your phone call!

I hope to work with you, your partner and/or family in the near future.

Thank you!
