I have practiced as a therapist since 1993. Having worked in many capacities from community clinician to clinical director, in residential, outpatient and retreat settings, with adults and teens, couples and individuals, I am excited to offer my own unique blend of tools and experiences.

For the last 8 years, I have trained in couples therapy and relational coaching using the Bader-Pearson Developmental Model (DM) and Attachment work. I fell in love with DM when I discovered it, intuitively grocking this powerful map for how relationships "grow" us, and the interplay with how individual growth strengthens our relationships. My clients express appreciation for the way I am able to offer compassion but also be direct in ways that make real change possible.

In addition, I train and consult with couples therapists learning DM. It has been an honor and privilege to mentor others in learning that work.
