About Me
Care Philosophy
I view therapy as a partnership grounded in respect and growth, creating a safe space where clients feel seen, heard and valued, while tailoring care to their unique needs and background.
Personal Statement
My life is rooted in a deep love for nature and the time my husband and I spend together outdoors. Whether tending to our animals or cherishing cozy indoor moments, I find great peace in these connections. We are also immensely proud of our four adult children, who have each followed uniquely different paths, bringing a wonderful diversity to our family.
