Chat with me

Hi there! I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. My passion is working with children and adolescents. I have worked as a school-based mental health therapist, and at an eating disorder treatment center. Prior to my Master’s degree I was a camp counselor, and an assistant preschool teacher. I feel it is important that every individual feels they have someone to talk to, feels heard and respected, in a safe, non-judgmental space. I enjoy going on long walks, spending time with family and friends, and going to the beach. I also enjoy listening to music from the 60’s to the present.
