Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent over 30 years as an educator. In addition to my professional training, I bring my own lived experience. I am married, raised four children, experienced infertility, adoption, neurodiversity, depression, anxiety, grief, loss, caregiving, and continue to navigate sometimes complicated relationships with my adult children. Life has stretched and humbled me in so many ways. My lived experiences have shaped the way I show up with clients, allowing me to sit with them in a way that is non-judgmental, authentic, and compassionate.
