She values creating a welcoming, safe, and nonjudgmental space for her clients. She builds the therapeutic relationship by modeling vulnerability and authenticity; keeping things professional, yet light – you may hear a cuss word or two, she’ll laugh at your jokes and please share pictures of your loved ones – pets, too! She is ready to create a compassionate yet challenging space for you to heal, grow and transform.
