MORE ABOUT ME
I grew up in the Midwest and was fortunate to travel to Turkey with my family as a child.
I am a mother of two young children. While going through the challenges of parenting, I am constantly evolving and improving my own life skills.
No one is given a handbook on how to be a parent or an effective and mindful communicator, but it’s possible to learn.
I was an Anthropology major in college, which captured my interest in human development, culture, and change. It also taught me the importance of looking beneath the surface, which is an important part of working with people in therapy.
Understanding how our past experiences and negative patterns impact current relationship dynamics can improve communication and increase our understanding and respect.
I love working with individuals and couples who are eager to take a deep dive and work on themselves so they can overcome struggles and have clarity about what matters most.
When I’m not working, I spend time playing tag with my kids, visiting with friends, and fostering kittens.
