I am a mindfulness teacher, a psychotherapist, a mother of two young adults, and a lover of the outdoors. I am passionate about working with those impacted by traumatic experiences, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I utilize Mindfulness stress reducing strategies, EMDR- Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (SAFE approach), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), and Problem-Solving Therapy to assist with moving beyond the past, building satisfying relationships in the present, maximizing the simple pleasures of life, and setting intention for tomorrow. I enjoy working with those in early adulthood through middle adulthood.
I also provide Surrogacy Support Counseling for gestational carriers with Fertility Counseling Center, Inc..
