About
While I am a therapist first, I am a social worker second, and am passionate about addressing the ways trauma impacts not just individuals, but society as a whole. Outside of being a therapist and social worker, I also take care of my rescue kitty, Squish. When she is not hiding my art supplies, I most enjoy creating mixed media art while perfecting my latest playlist. I also most enjoy time spent with close family and friends, engaged in fun, comedic banter. When compared with past providers, clients most often tell me that I provide them with a greater depth of knowledge about themselves, and am much faster in helping them develop individualized ways of coping with a given issue. While clients have told me I am warmer, more empathic, and a lot easier to talk to, those are basic skills for any therapist.
