I am an avid birder, gardener and deeply enjoy spending time connected with nature and community. I am also a former Peace Corps Volunteer in West Africa. I encourage clients to work towards authentic expression of themselves in a safe therapy environment. Working towards healing is a vulnerable space and I believe in holding myself to the very same standards in the therapy space which means transparency, authenticity and flexibility. As a therapist, I see therapy as a way for people to engage more fully in this life, with its transience, change and joys and deeply believe in the sacredness of engagement of the art of being.
