I have been practicing in the mental health field for over 10 years. My work is a collaborative approach with the patient to determine goals for treatment and ways to achieve these goals. I am passionate about my practice and continue to strive for the best patient care possible through on going education, attentive listening and empathetic communication.

In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors with my family along with running and playing volleyball.
