I completed undergraduate studies in Psychology and Sociology in Colorado and finalized my higher education by completing my Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy (MS) as well as residency for Marriage and Family Therapy licensure hours and Licensed Professional Counselor residency hours in the Houston, Texas area. 

My family and I have lived in Chesterfield, VA for the last several years where we have enjoyed the beauty and mild weather. Hobbies include reading both fiction and non-fiction, walking/hiking, and traveling. 

During my early career I focused on family violence and worked with young children. Additional years of experience in acute mental health settings and recovery treatment have provided a foundation of understanding many aspects of family dynamics. During my last several years in Texas I worked as a professor at a local college system as well as enjoyed my time at my private practice, which later transitioned to a group practice in the Spring, Texas area. After a few years of settling in a new state and working in Community Mental Health settings and Non-profit managed healthcare I am enjoying partnering with individuals, couples, and families again to provide needed support. 

I am also a board approved MFT and LPC supervisor in Virginia. My practice is intentionally small and curated.

With a strong foundation and identity in Marriage and Family Therapy's systemic lens my sessions tend to be influenced in the style of Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Feminist models. As a therapist with 15 years experience I have worked with individuals, couples, and families through all kinds of dilemmas both personal and relational. It is a honor and privilege to be invited into the world of others as a non-judgmental party on their journey to solutions and insight.
