About Me
I constantly have my nose in a book, research article, or am engaged in advanced trainings to help you! I’m here so you can ditch the shame and perfectionism. I am certified in EMDR, which helps people reduce or resolve anxiety, anger, depression, and PTSD. I have specialized training to treat sex addiction and betrayal trauma. I love working with couples and absolutely love Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I am serious about helping couples reignite passion, sexual intimacy, and equality in their relationship. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, and hiking with my three Labrador Retrievers or taking selfies with my 7-year-old. I manage my stress by doing HIIT workouts in my garage or scrolling funny accounts on TikTok, practicing mindfulness, or talking with a friend (or my therapist)—hey, I’m an extrovert. You should also know that I’m terrible at Just Dance, and my kids beat me every time we play. I also love meeting friends for lunch and practice yoga (although not as often as I’d like). Oh, and my hair is falling out, I don’t know, some sort of autoimmune alopecia, and I decided to just shave my head. I am married and have three kids ranging in ages 7-16, so I understand the stress and demands on modern families. I too, found myself sitting on the back burner while feeling shame for being adopted and confused about my place in the world. I am also personally all too familiar with the grief surrounding miscarriage and perinatal loss. I am here to walk with you on a journey of healing and growth, and will provide encouragement and support along the way.
