Welcome! I am a student Marriage and Family Therapist. I have completed the educational coursework necessary toward a Master of Art Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and am now working to complete the required direct client care hours. I have completed all coursework to earn a PhD in Clinical Sexology and am currently in process of writing my dissertation. I previously earned a Bachelors Degree in Marriage and Family Studies.
In my free time I love cooking, camping, hiking, traveling, and a good Netflix Binge. I am a wife, mom to a teenager and dog-mom to 2 Golden Retriever's and one standard red Poodle.
A couple of things that are important to me: I grew up in a blended family and have a great deal of compassion for those working to navigate the same. Working with families healing from divorce or building a new normal as a blended family is a passion of mine.
I am a sex positive therapist. This means that I will work with you to determine what works for you sexually, and reinforce your right to determine such. As a therapist, I approach each person's sexuality with an open mind.
