About Me

Personally...

I try to live my life curiously - finding answers to the questions that intrigue me and balancing wonder with gratitude. I live near Augusta, GA with my hubby and our two boys; and enjoy reading, refurbishing furniture, painting, cooking, traveling, singing, and writing. Have questions? Don't hesitate to ask! 

In Therapeutic Terms... 

I have a background in Marriage and Family Therapy, so I often invite clients to consider systemic influences in their lives. I believe that we are greater than the sum of our parts and that there are many contextual components that contribute to who we are and how we act, think, and feel. I specialize in working with clients who are dealing with relational issues (family, romantic, social, professional) including the LGBTQ+ community, and also have a clinical background in depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and trauma. I am a certified Prepare/Enrich premarital and couples counselor and enjoy working with co-parents (after/during divorce or separation) to help navigate boundaries so that families might continue to thrive in a healthy, functional, meaningful way. I have been intensively trained in Family Systems Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).  

See my “My Therapeutic Services” section for a better understanding of what sessions might look like.
