About Me
As a licensed clinical psychologist, I have been trained to provide consultation, counseling, and evaluation services. I have conducted short and long term therapy as well as comprehensive assessments pertaining to academic, workplace, or medical-related issues.

Some of my areas of interest include helping clients manage conflict, life transitions, and change negative thought patterns and habits. I enjoy facilitating small groups as well as working one on one with clients. Some of the groups I have offered include: Defeating the Sleep Monster, Weight-to-Go!, and STOP Domestic Violence groups for offenders.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family & friends, practicing yoga, drinking tea, and hiking/camping....

3) Practicing daily bits of relaxation/rejuvenation-- meditation, taking a walk in nature, deep breathing exercises, taking a bubble bath, etc.
4) Connecting with my loved ones and keeping an attitude of gratitude as I play with, talk with, and love them...
