I approach therapy from a holistic, biopsychosocial-spiritual perspective, recognizing that everyone is multifaceted and has unique needs.

My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where we can work together. In this healing environment, I prioritize kindness, humor, and empathy to foster growth and well-being.

About Me
I have lived in Washington, DC since 1999, but was born and raised in Kentucky. I also lived in Sendai, Japan for 2 years in my twenties.

I enjoy hiking in Rock Creek Park, reading, playing the piano, baking, knitting and watching college basketball. I have two young adult children, and live with a well-intentioned Wheaten Terrier named Truman.
