About Me
I was drawn to medical family therapy to support people during challenging times in their life. I feel honored that people allow me to connect with them on their journey through one of the toughest times in their lives. I primarily work with women diagnosed with breast and gynecologic cancers as they experience the emotional, financial, physical, spiritual, and relational challenges of their diagnoses. I strive to provide a safe space to process all of the stressors cancer can bring. I enjoy helping people navigate what can be an overwhelming process, empowering them to make their own decisions, find hope in the future, and process grief over what has been lost. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my friends, my husband, our two boys, and our dogs.
