about me
I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio but have lived in Tallahassee since August of 2020. I am passionate about self-compassion and helping clients develop relationships that create a sense of safety and connectedness.
My Philosophy
It can be hard to be a human. There are so many things that are out of our control. It's easy to feel alone and wonder if there's anyone that can help. I believe that clients already have all the resources they need to cope and thrive as humans, but sometimes they just need help accessing those resources. Underneath the unique stressors and experiences that an individual faces, there are core values that are waiting to be tapped into. There are strengths and resiliencies in each of us. My role is to help bring those to light!
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, my approach is always relational in nature. For couples, my focus is on improving the quality of the connection between partners to help them feel safe and valued. For individuals, I tend to focus on the relationship one has with their self to help them also feel safe and valued. We all crave safety and connection.
