About My Clients

I work well with clients who are willing to do what is needed to get better. This means showing up to sessions, doing assignments(homework) and believing that they deserve to be healthy, and happy and can get there with help.

My Background and Approach

My approach to therapy is practical, non- judgmental, warm and empathetic. I meet you where you are and help guide you to where you want to be. Life can be challenging, and we all could use a little help sometimes.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I care deeply about protecting animals from abuse and neglect wherever they may be. I'm against using animals for entertainment, "fashion", animal testing and for food. I also care deeply about protecting our environment and for these reasons, I am a vegan. I am the President of a nonprofit organization that provides free shelter for dogs who are forced to live outdoors and not indoors with their families, and advocate for community dogs to help them live quality lives by providing whatever they need from spay/neuter, beds, toys, vet care, etc.
