I’ve had extensive experience with addiction and recovery as well as complicated grief, complex trauma, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorders working with both veteran and civilian populations. Additionally, I have developed a deep appreciation and familiarity working with couples to help promote effective communication, emotional expression, and clearer boundaries to cultivate healthier and more mutually rewarding relationships.
Before my career in psychotherapy, I was fortunate to travel extensively both internationally and domestically as a travel and food & wine writer authoring various books and publications. These special opportunities to travel and experience other countries and cultures have forever shaped me and become a vital component to the unique perspective I have developed towards appreciating, understanding and empathizing with a diverse population of human beings that I bring to my role as a psychotherapist.
These experiences combined with the personal growth and emotional development attained through my own psychotherapeutic journey became the catalyst for me wanting to join this transformative field where I could be in a position to share and give back to my clients the profound impact that it has had on defining my life, my self-awareness, and my interpersonal relationships.
